Some companies have uniforms for their staff which must be worn at all times. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this.
Few corporations insist their workers wear a uniform
while
at work
. The advantage is that this
promotes equality. However
, this
can lead to a decreasing quality of work
, which is a drawback.
Uniforms can promote equality among people
. In other words
, the same clothes
, if worn by everyone, can decrease judgment. People
are no longer discriminated for
their looks. Change preposition
against for
This
is because a company might contain employees from different backgrounds and setting a standard for clothes
is one way to bring everyone on to the same level of work
. Employees need not worry about being overlooked based on their clothes
as talent and hard work
will be considered. For instance
, employees at organisations with uniforms reported to have experienced no discrimination at their workplace.
In spite of these benefits, there are a few disadvantages as well. Wearing the same clothes
every day can be tedious and mind-numbing. A few people
express themselves through their clothes
and this
rule often restricts their freedom. Furthermore
, forcing everyone to wear a certain set of clothes
often feels oppressive and limits the brain to function at optimum levels. This
results in decreased enthusiasm towards work
and in turn, productivity. For example
, studies suggest that people
who wear the same clothes
every day are 10% less happy than the rest.
In conclusion, uniforms decrease discrimination and bias in the workplace, resulting in people
being judged solely based on their work
. By contrast
, they also
affect the quality of their work
, leading to decreased productivity in the long run.Submitted by aishvaryaaishu205 on

Introduction
The introduction could have been more explicit about the points or issues to be discussed in the essay.
Examples
While you provide specific examples, they could be more concrete and believable. 'Employees at organisations with uniforms reported to have experienced no discrimination at their workplace.' - This could be improved if you specify a particular survey or research as the source of this information.
Style
Some of the phrases seem too informal or not academically rigid ('tedious and mind-numbing', '10% less happy'). Use more formal language, and base your evidence on widely accepted research or generally acknowledged facts.
