Morning All,
You can tell I am back at work can't you, all these issues and questions coming up!
Does anyone have a policy on uniforms that I could look at/adapt?
We provide our production and warehouse staff with trousers, polo shirts and sweatshirts but have nothing in place to say whether we will replace after a certain time, what happens if items don't fit, get damaged, start looking scruffy.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as always
Thanks
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
An interesting point. We don't have a policy as such as although we do issue polo shirts, jackets etc with the logo on, it is not 'uniform' as they are not expected to wear it for work all time - generally only for events and the like. The Nature reserve Wardens do renew their kit quite regularly as it gets ripped or burnt while they carry out their normal tasks. To keep costs reasonable, the team budgets cover the cost for replacement - so the team managers take an active role in ensuring their team looks after their kit!
We did recently have a high profile event where some of the staff where expected to wear ties (supplied centrally). It was quite a sight to see the wardens trying to tie them - obviously not something that they are accustomed to!
