Working as part of a team, or being made to feel part of a company, is a factor which is quite often very high up on the list to make staff work at their most effective.There are many things to consider in order to make people feel like they are working for a united company that all support each other. Ensuring you have good communication within a team of workers is crucial, as is keeping an eye on staff to ensure everyone is happy. An informal, light atmosphere in the workplace goes some way to improving staff morale, as does listening to staff suggestions and opinions.
A simple way to promote unison to your staff is to provide them all with some kind of corporate uniform, showing them that they are part of a team. It is often thought that if a business is not particularly customer facing, then there is no need for a uniform or branded items of clothing, however this could not be further from the truth.
A lot of companies do provide staff, even in a back office, with custom t-shirts which bear the company logo or name. By providing printed t-shirts to staff members they will all feel like one. The motivation also of being in work clothes can often make people work harder, as it puts their mind into work mode.
Custom t-shirts with branding also promote an air or equality around an office or workplace, in much the same way that school uniforms do for school children. It reduces the risk of staff feeling at a lower end of the scale than fellow workers if for example, someone has a more expensive shirt than someone else.
On the other hand, providing different printed t-shirts to certain staff members can have the opposite desired effect and define authority.
