Companies and organisations are requiringenforcing their employees to wear a uniform. Whether this is helpful for employers or employees is a debatable topicIs this helpful for the employer or employee is a debating topic, but here, I will describe some of my views regarding this topic either they are in favour or against this viewin opposite opinion of this view.

First of all, a uniform creates a dress code, so no one feels superior or inferiorFirst of all, a uniform presents itself as a dress code, no one feels superior or inferior to anyone and that provides employees with comfortprovides an employee the comfort on their job, that ultimately leads to higher profitsgrowing in profit. One of my friends was working as a machine operatorgrinding man in a company and he always complained about the feeling of being inferior to other employeestheir employee, but when the company restricted all staff membersall staffs to wear a uniform, it helped him to feel comfortable on his workplacejob place. Secondly, an employee wearing uniform has less worry about dirtying their own clothesno tension of contaminating the dress and everybody feels at easefeels easiness in their working and they work freely all kinds of work in the company.

In spite of above-mentioned advantages, there are some disadvantages. Firstly, it is very difficult for an employee to wear the same dress over and over again, each one gets bored and tries to avoid ittry to avoid being in a uniform. This thing affects their performance on work. Secondly, if a worker is allergic to a certain fabricSecondly the man in uniform if having an allergy of specific dresses like cotton, he always feels bad and tries to avoid. Another reason, he always worries about their precious things that were kept in their dresses and ultimately he works partially hurt that leads to cut in the production.

We find a way to tackle the situation by enforcing the uniform for the employees who are working in the field or on a technical machine, while uniform would not be necessary for peoplepeoples working in clerical jobs or those who are sitting on managerial positions.

Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 5.0

The response addresses the requested advantages, disadvantages, and a possible viewpoint, and its practical distinction between different job types offers a relevant direction. However, the position is not stated clearly or developed consistently, while frequent grammar and word-choice errors make several ideas difficult to follow. The highest priority is to give a direct opinion in the introduction and conclusion, then organise each body paragraph around one clearly explained benefit or drawback in accurate, shorter sentences.
