Today´s world is the world of competitions and survival. If you want to succeed, you have to face challengesface and battle challenges and you have to show that you are the bestyou have to show that you are undoubtedly the best. ThisIt also applies to companies and businessesyour company and business. One of the ways to improve your company's imagemethods to improve and depict a better image of your company is to create unity among employeesunify the employees by asking them to wear uniforms.
It is important that a company or an organisation shows a positive image to the public. In developed countries with a free marketwhere there exists a free market and people have the opportunity to choose among many companieschoose between many, they will probably be attractedthey surely will be attracted to the best ones. Subsequently, the more customers an organisation or company has, the more successful itthey will be. Let´s imagine that you visit a company where its employeesit´s employees wear different typestype of clothes and you can barely recognize who belongs there and who doesn´t. It will certainly affect your experienceexperiences and overall evaluation of that company. On the other handside, if, for instance, you visitif you for instance visit a car renting company and all the employees wear uniforms which represent that company, it gives you the feeling that you are dealing with professional people at a reputable companyproper the people and company.
Furthermore, similar to schools, uniforms hidehides the differences (economic and social classes) among employeesbetween members and all will appear the same. This will make the "weaker" parts of the company or organisation feel confident and relaxedrelax hence they will focus more on their job and the productivity will increase.
Those who object to the idea of introducing uniformsobject the idea of introduction of uniforms may argue that by this the companies and organisations take the freedom of choice of clothes from the members. It is partly true, but of course, each company and the organisation has its own rules that must be obeyed.
To conclude, I believe that the companies or organisations who regularly deal with customers directly and are in contact with people all the time can better their appearance and impact on customers by introducing uniforms to their employees.
Why this response received Band 6.5
The response presents a clear, relevant position and develops two sensible reasons for customer-facing organizations to use uniforms, with generally logical progression. Its main limitation is uneven language control: frequent agreement, article, possessive, and collocation errors reduce precision, while the counterargument is only briefly handled. Prioritize revising sentence-level grammar and natural word combinations, then deepen the response to the objection before reaffirming the qualified conclusion.
