Turn Your Uniform Program from an Expense into an Asset

Outfitting your team in professional, consistent workwear is essential—but too often, companies get stuck in rental agreements that drain their budgets and restrict their choices. What starts as a “convenient” option quickly becomes a burden. Damaged garments, limited selection, hidden fees—suddenly, your uniform program feels like an expense you can’t control.

At Work Hard Dress Right, we help businesses take back control and turn their employee uniform program into a valuable, brand-building asset.

A custom professional work uniform program is both easy and cost-effective.

The Hidden Cost of Uniform Rentals

Rental programs often seem appealing because they don’t require a large upfront investment. You’re billed weekly per employee, laundry is handled, and garments are delivered. Simple, right?

Not exactly.

“We see it all the time,” says Ken Yanicky, VP of Business Development at Feury Image Group. “The uniforms are laundered in massive 300- to 400-pound bundles using harsh chemicals. That kind of friction breaks down fabrics, leads to damage, and results in frequent replacements.”

And guess who pays for those replacements? You do.

“Uniforms get torn, shrunk, or simply go missing—and you get billed at full retail price to replace them,” Ken adds. “It’s common for frustrated employees to start laundering their uniforms at home, which means you’re paying the rental company for a service they’re not even providing.”

The Smarter Alternative: Direct Purchase + WHDR Program Management

More and more companies are realizing that a managed employee uniform program through WHDR is not only more flexible and brand-friendly—it’s far more cost-effective.

“When we help clients switch from rental to a managed direct-purchase model, they often save 40% to 50% in the first year,” says Ken.

Here’s how it works:

• You approve a catalog of branded garments that meet your company’s style, safety, and comfort standards.
• Employees are given a uniform allowance and order what they need through a simple portal.
• Orders are reviewed and approved before being shipped directly to employees—at work or at home.
• Because employees launder uniforms themselves, there’s less wear and tear, and fewer sets are needed.

Plus, you’re no longer limited to industrial-grade fabrics that survive harsh commercial laundering. That opens up more color, style, and comfort options—so your team looks better, feels better, and takes more pride in their appearance.

From Uniform Headache to Uniform Advantage

When you shift to a direct purchase model supported by WHDR’s hands-on management, your employee uniform program becomes a true asset:

• No surprise replacement fees
• Full brand control
• Greater comfort and satisfaction for employees
• Transparent spending and streamlined ordering
• Faster onboarding with uniforms delivered before Day One

Whether you need hi-vis gear, scrubs, polos, outerwear, or complete new-hire kits, our team makes it easy to build and maintain a program that works for your business, not against it.
