Arnie's  workwear of choice was Boots, Sun Glasses and he rocked a leather jacket.... however not taking the time to make sure that everything fits and is fit for purpose may mean that your plans for branded workwear for your team may be  TERMINATED !!

1. Ignoring Safety Standards: Always ensure that the workwear meets safety standards relevant to your industry. Ignoring this could result in potential hazards or legal issues.

2. Poor Quality Materials: Avoid opting for cheaper, low-quality materials. While they might save you money initially, they'll likely wear out quickly, costing you more in the long run and potentially compromising safety and comfort.

3. Ignoring Comfort: Uncomfortable workwear can impact productivity and morale. Avoid selecting items that are too tight, restrictive, or made from materials that don't breathe well, especially if your employees will be wearing them for extended periods. Make sure you check everyone's sizes. People may want to layer clothing when they go outside, so ordering a larger outdoor jacket to fit over a polo, tee and a fleece should be considered.

4. Neglecting Size Variety: People come in all shapes and sizes. Neglecting to provide a range of sizes could lead to discomfort or dissatisfaction among your team members. Dont just order one each. People will want to wash them... one to wash, one to wear and spare for T Shirts and Polo's is the norm.

5. Overlooking Branding Opportunities: Workwear can be a powerful branding tool. Avoid missing out on opportunities to customize the clothing with your company logo or slogan, helping to promote brand recognition.

6. Forgetting Functionality: Consider the specific tasks your employees will be performing while wearing the workwear. Avoid items that restrict movement or don't have the necessary pockets or features for the job.

7. Ignoring Employee Input: Your employees are the ones who will be wearing the workwear day in and day out. Neglecting their input could lead to dissatisfaction or resistance to wearing the provided clothing. Always take into account religious and cultural preferences... if you are in doubt consult your HR Professional

8. Not Considering Durability: Workwear needs to withstand the rigors of the job. Avoid choosing items that are prone to tearing, fading, or falling apart after just a few uses.

9. Ignoring Maintenance Requirements: Some workwear may have specific cleaning or maintenance requirements to ensure longevity and effectiveness. Neglecting these could lead to premature wear or damage.

10. Overlooking Budget Constraints: While quality is important, it's also essential to stay within budget. Avoid overspending on flashy features or unnecessary embellishments that don't add value to the workwear.

By avoiding these pitfalls, you can ensure that the workwear you order is not only safe and functional but also comfortable, durable, and aligned with your branding and budget requirements.
