When it comes to workwear and PPE supplies in the workplace, employee satisfaction is integral to feeling safe, comfortable and having a smart appearance.
Workwear rental services are designed for the wearer to have multiple garments in circulation at one time. This allows for workwear and PPE supplies to be replenished weekly. Items are washed and repaired on a weekly cycle, this avoids overuse of one garment, which can leave clothing heavily soiled and the possibility of a garment being damaged beyond repair.
Benefits of Workwear Rental for Employees
Professional High-Quality Uniforms
When the new work uniform is measured, ordered and arrives a short while later, there is a great feeling amongst the team. Receiving a smart high-quality uniform boosts team morale, making employees happier and with a smarter image which includes new workwear embroidery.
There can be a big impact on employees wearing new high-quality uniform, which can give the team a great feeling of pride in the workplace and can increase self-esteem amongst workforces.
Increased Productivity and Safety
Research shows a proven connection between new uniforms and increased productivity in the workplace. Studies show that productivity is generally higher following the installation of new workwear and PPE supplies, with personnel more efficient when in new uniforms.
In addition to productivity, workwear cleaning services and new uniforms increase safety. Both employers and employees are safe in the knowledge the garments they are wearing are fit for purpose. Garments are repaired early, as soon damage to the garment occurs, any imperfections are not left to worsen but are repaired immediately. Avoiding workwear being damaged beyond repair, increasing the lifespan of the workwear and PPE supplies.
When these services are introduced in businesses, maintained properly and renewed at the end of the lifespan of the garment, this improves overall safety compliance of the company.
Practical Solutions for Common Uniform Issues
Workwear Cleaning
Having a workwear rental service does not laden the employees or employer with the responsibility of maintaining the garment. Minimising hassle, freeing them up to focus on the job at hand.
Delivered and collected weekly; all uniforms have full garment traceability through barcodes. All items of clothing are checked for debris which is removed and then sub-sorted into wash loads. Uniforms are cleaned professionally using bespoke professional wash programs. Workwear is then hand folded and packed ready for dispatch.
This cleaning process benefits the employees, knowing they have clean, comfortable uniforms for their working week ahead.
Workwear Maintenance
Workwear repairs are one of the key benefits of a workwear rental service. Our dedicated team of seamstresses repair and maintain your garments before damage of the PPE gets damaged beyond repair. Repairing tears, darning and replacing zips, buttons, clasps and clips are just some of the routine repairs to help restore garments, so they are fit for purpose.
Workwear Embroidery and Personalisation
At Rocliff as part of our workwear cleaning service, we offer a full range of workwear embroidery and heat-sealing services.
We have several bespoke design options for personalised workwear, which is important for each company to feel unique and unified. Each wearer has the option of embroidered/heat-sealed name badges on the front breast pocket, accompanied by the company’s logo.
These services play a part in offering customisation to the uniform to enhance the sense of belonging and identity for employees.
Handling Changes in Size
All employees are measured in prewashed measure kits, to minimise any mismeasures. Employees try on the measured garment to ensure a correct fitting. Our service representatives then check the garment fits correctly and ask the wearer if they require a Short, Regular or Tall spec of the garment. The wearer is also asked if they require the garment to be adjusted on the sleeve or leg to ensure an accurate fit. All garments have the option of being tailored by our in-house repair and alteration team.
Our customer service team carry out regular workwear surgeries when required.
Workwear agreements generally last between 24 to 36 months depending on the businesses industry, so all wearers are measured every to 2 to 3 years. As a result, there is flexibility within our workwear rental services in adjusting to changes in employees’ size over time.
Business Advantages of Workwear Rental
Improved Employee Morale
Happier employees lead to a more positive work environment, whilst being comfortable in well-fitted high quality and well-maintained uniforms.
Enhanced Company Image
Uniforms which are regularly laundered and maintained, provide a consistent brand perception for your company. A professional appearance in your workplace can attract new clients and customers when prospects visit your factory or on-site at other facilities when your employees have a smart and professional appearance.
Cost Efficiency
With a workwear cleaning service there is no upfront cost of hundreds or thousands of pounds worth of workwear and PPE supplies at once, instead pre-arranged set weekly price is invoiced monthly.
This saves on the regular upfront cost of replacement garments, through regular repairs and frequent laundering to avoid oversoiling.
Focus on Core Business Activities
Outsourcing workwear management allows your business to focus on its primary operations, saving time and money. Workwear cleaning services reduce administrative burden on HR and management teams.
Workwear rental services benefit employees by keeping employees safe, clean and well-presented at all times. For business owners having a workwear cleaning service frees up time while ensuring the team is smart and safe in the knowledge that the garments are fit for purpose.
