Dress code

Dress code

 

Appropriate dress, along with ‘basic etiquette’ is one of the most common tie-up made with the Professionalism. But why having a dress code is important ?

As we all know that we form first impressions and overall judgements about people by the way they are dressed up. If the way someone dresses affects the perception of our company’s clients or business partners, it is important to maintain a standard dress code that can create a positive impression.
Some organisations allow their employees to dress up casually or freely as per their comfort whereas some companies prefers to have a dress code to maintain a ‘professional image’.
Having a proper dress code for your workplace will actually shape the impression of your business in front of the customers. A particular consideration should be given in the case where the employees regularly have to host the client meetings in office or if your workplace is a restaurant or other venue involving constant interactions with the customers. Having a appropriate dress code which suits the type of your business actually boosts up the confidence of the business as a whole and also promotes a ‘visual uniformity’. Visual uniformity in the workarea helps the customers to identify the employees and also promotes the feeling of ‘team work’ among the workforce.
While setting a dress code may initially cause the feeling of dislike amongst the employees because it is a change from the usual ‘no dress-code routine’ . But this will help the employees in the long term because after this, they don’t have to be worried about whether they are dressed too casually or too opposite from the situation. “After this, all they have to do is to follow the dress code”
With the clear dress code, you will help employees avoid making inappropriate choices with the dresses that could cause safety problems. For example: if the workplace is a warehouse, it would be a smart move to wear steel-toed shoes to reduce the risk of foot injuries.
No fixed dress codes may make employees comfortable, but the point of Professionalism and etiquette is to make others comfortable !
