Springtime is a good time for Dress Policy Reminder

The arrival of spring means it is time to put away those wool pants, boots and other “wintry” clothes. It may also be a great time to remind employees about work place dress standards and re-state what it acceptable attire. Trends of business casual, Jeans Days, Friday Dress-Down Days, and Special Events dress themes have made “what and when to wear it” an increasingly more complicated and sometimes controversial subject.
 
Appropriate dress, appearance, and grooming are essential to a successful business operation. Inappropriate dress may result in workplace distractions, employee ill will, and poor messages to customer or clients about the business.
 
An employer dress and appearance policy should be communicated on occasion to remind employees of work place standards. A regular or seasonal based communication may reduce the likelihood of inappropriate dress occurring or individual employees being singled for what they are wearing.
