Before you know it, winter will be here, and if theres one season you need to prep your workforces winter workwear wardrobe for, this is it. With the chance of polar vortexes and disruptive snowstorms ahead, its essential to ensure your team is prepared whatever the weather. Minimum essentials should include a warmer fleece jacket, a cozy beanie hat and maybe even gloves for your team to keep them warm and working hard.
For most businesses that are based outdoors or are exposed to the elements, they will provide their team with the standard PPE equipment and a coat. Whilst fulfilling your minimum obligations is an option, you could be overlooking a trick.
Warmer teams are happier teamsWhen it becomes colder, the staff on the ground that are exposed to the elements more often will feel this the hardest.
Its a known fact that cold weather makes hands stiffer and most of the bodys heat is lost through the head. That said if your team has depleted body heat because theyre dressed like their wardrobed sneezed on them before they walked out the door, what they have on might not be regulation wear and end up inhibiting their ability to do their job to the best of their ability.
So, it stands to reason then, that if a company kits the team out with the right workwear to stay warmer whilst being more functional you get more from them.
