What Detroit's weather means for companies
With 3 months of average highs below 45°F (December to February), staff in Detroit live in outerwear for a good part of the year, so put the budget into a jacket people will wear on the commute. Company picnics and outdoor events fit best from May to September, when average highs sit at 70°F or above, so order event tees for those months. January lows average 20°F, so a heavyweight hoodie or beanie makes a year-end gift that gets worn the week it arrives. Around 45 inches of snow a year puts field staff in boots and heavy jackets for months, so a dark outer layer that hides slush and road salt keeps the uniform looking sharp. Temperatures drop to 32°F or below on about 112 nights a year, so an onboarding kit for a winter hire works better with a warm layer, such as a fleece quarter-zip, than with a tee alone.
