Casual Work Clothes Increasing Productivity In The Office
What do you wear to work? Do you think that what you wear to work has an effect on your output, your attitude and further aspects of your work life? Depending on your career path you might be wearing something like a suit and tie if you are customer facing and meeting with clients, alternatively you could be forced to wear a specific uniform if you work in a specific sector, for instance if you are a mechanic in a garage there is little point in you turning up for work in a suit, it’s not really what would be considered appropriate work clothes.
There have been several research initiatives over the years that have attempted to find out the effects that differing work clothes can have on the employees and also how companies can attempt to get better efficiency out of their workforce. For instance there was a study performed in the United States of America a few decades ago that concluded that people who come to work in relaxed and casual work clothes actually provide employers with a better output of work, they also enjoy coming into the office more as they don’t feel that they have to dress up in stiff and starchy clothes that make you feel uncomfortable.
