A certain bet… N


o one will disagree that one of the most important responsibilities of general management is to provide employees with the tools and resources to do their job.


Unfortunately, uniforms are often dealt with in a haphazard manner and then everyone seems surprised when, one day, they realize that the uniforms are looking unacceptable and urgently need to be replaced. The whole undertaking of sourcing, stocking, designing, issuing, plus of course budgeting for new uniforms becomes an overwhelming time and cost consuming task. Often uniforms are a last minute purchase –


and afterthought when the budget is under pressure. This results in haphazard decisions, seeking an instant source from a catalogue or high street chain. As one knows only too well, this does not and cannot work for the long term – cheap is

always expensive. It is a certain bet that by giving an experienced, well respected specialist company such as John Marks, the job of analysing your “real needs” in an organized, logical manner money and time will be saved. Gone are the days when staff were lined up and checked by the pit boss mother, before they stepped on the floor, to make sure they looked clean and tidy and that their uniforms were in good condition. This would be considered extreme today, but it did give the employees a sense of worth and belonging knowing they represented the brand. Staff will take personal responsibility, but not


if they are embarrassed by their uniform and appearance. Subconsciously or consciously


they will not put their best effort into their work because what they look like affects how they feel about themselves and the confidence they exude, particularly dealing to/with your customers. Punters notice and comment on what


employees look like and will call into question whether or not your casino offers the quality experience promised. Ultimately, it is about the relationship between staff and customer, not about the walls, carpets, chairs, and lighting. In a world of uncertainties, there is one sure


bet: leave the headache of uniforms to John Marks, the professionals. This will save you both money and time and give you the results you want.
