What are your views on dress codes at the moment?

Alyson

What are the general thoughts about dress codes at the moment.

I have been asked to review ours as the standard of dress has slipped slightly over the last couple of years with some people wearing vans, converse or sketcher trainers others wearing hoodies. Most of our branches have a trade counter area with an open plan office, all trade counter and logistics staff are provided with a uniform which they are expected to wear so my question is more aimed at the rest of the office based staff.

My proposed policy is still pretty relaxed and certainly not strict business wear but I'm curious about what other companies are doing, I don't want to be tightening up on our policy whilst other companies are relaxing theirs.

  • Hello Alyson,

    I think your policy on dress code will be guided by the culture in your organization and the promises you make to your clients or how you introduce your company to your clients.

    Here are some of the things to consider:
    - Company tone of voice (internal and with clients).
    - Language used written and spoken
    - Nature of your business
    - How You introduce yourself to your clients, images in brochures etc..
    - general use of formality in the company (like process, approvals etc..)

    Some of your staff have to wear uniforms, so you could consider smart-casual for office staff so the difference is not too big.
