Why update the uniforms?

Uniforms need to reflect the personality of the technician

• Professional
• Friendly
• Reliable
• Innovative, (yet, not futuristic)
• And ultimately, Dedicated to People Flow ™

Service Technician Objectives

Need to feel proud of what they are wearing

• Must be comfortable and practical (stain resistant and durable)
• Suitable for work and customer meetings
