Dear Preeti,
In my view, you should call her personally and tell her regarding the dress code in a soft way. If you give her a warning regarding the same giving a copy to all Female employees then it will badly affect the new joinee since she a new joinee to the organisation. It will badly affect the image to the company. Handle the issue in a soft way then you can ensure her full participation through her productivity towards the job to the organisation.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND..

Dear Preethi,

Here is one more website ref. No doubt you need to adapt this to suit the Indian conditions, where your organisation may not approve the wearing of a kirt by female employees.

MiCSC - Employee Orientation Guidelines - , Examples of Dress Code Policies

At this site it clearly states "spaghetti-strap dresses should not be worn to the office."

Good luck.

PritiI am also working as an Personnle and HR officer in a corporate. I have gone through your thread and I would suggest to handle Her about dressing using Dipomate way,means talk to her politly which make her understand about what is office and what is shopping center where she does shopping, be professional and also scold her and ended up with Praising her work. To the best of my experience, she will indeed changer herself as per your expectations.Reply when she walk on your way.

This issue is very sensitive i was not confident enough when i have posted this thread but i was prepared somewhere for negative responses from some of our members.
I would like to apologize if i have hurted some one unintentionally especially Narasimhan

As you all know i have dropped email to all females and i had a word with my director too. He has asked me to prepare dress code policy and to implement the same asap. I will be doing the same by tomorrow. But i came to know few more things about her (her reaction after that email). What i have heard is not official words but from one female colleague. She told her that she is not going to change her dressing at any cost no one can make her to do that in fact i will approach HQ HR (Finland HR) and will make realize that what is modern and smart dressing. She mean to say what she is wearing is not wrong. All females know and are confident enough she wears all this clothes purposely. No other employees are comfortable talking with her. And she has told to one of female that she got permission from our director for wearing this type of clothes, i was shocked when i heard all this.
I have dropped email to all females on Monday, after 5 days still there is no change in her dressing. In fact she went to my director asking what is meant by decent clothes and she asked him what i wear is really that hot. I don't know what kind of girl she is. My director has told her directly what she is suppose to wear but i don't find any change in her. We are going to implement dress code now and lets see what happens after that.
Unfortunately with whom she works closely is sales manager but a male. and i dont think so he will convey our message to her in right sense as i know him he is not that trustworthy.

I again want to say to all that my only concern is work environment and to maintain office decorum and no intentions to insult any one or any thing out of envy.

Thanks & Regards,

Preeti

Hi I have told you already about this issue, better leave this girl alone and other members should stop looking at that girl from a culprit point of view.

Let me warn you, if you do try to force any more policy issues on her, you may even end up losing your job, if she gets smarter than you, and she can get the support of top management, if her job is more important than you.

Here many people advised you to give her warning, and ask her to leave the job, but what if tomorrow she makes you leave your job, think from this point of view.

And just ignore her.

Nowadays everything is accepted. And not that as some members mentioned about indian culture, then waht about a girl who got pregnant and is getting support from company, just treat her as normal and I dont know why other employees are feeling ackward in speaking with her.

JUST ACT AS NORMAL

DONT DISCRIMINATE ON RELIGION< SEX< LOOKS..

Hello,

You should frame dress code for your organisation and get it apprroved to implement.
Circulate eamil to all. As yours is vey small organisation it is not very didfficult to spread the message to all.

Try to conivnce her to adopt dress code which is the best for hereself and others.

Keep informed your chief of the organisation. It is not a serious issue. Being a Business development personnel she may be having mind of attracting others by wearing different dresses. Also, make understand her this kind of dresses will spoil companies values among clients.

Be sportive. Do not show her that you are a fult finder.

Hii Preethi,

You defiantly drop a mail to her pointing out the mistakes you have found and clearly mention that you are doing so as this may spoil the office environment.... Apart from that very professionally make it clear that you have taken this step after observing from many days. You had to take this step for the benefit of the Organization.

Suchitra.

Sometimes giving a person negative attention can help in changing behavior. Eg. Make comments in front of her indicating that she is for example, cheap, easy.
I call it "shock therapy".
When one of my office employees wore low cut jeans with short tops, I just pointed to her exposed back side and loudly said her "coin box" was showing, and did she want some charity. Then I laughed at her. She covered herself up the next day.
It is kind of a harsh way of handling things but if the female employee repeats her behavior even after being informed that her dress code is unacceptable, then she deserves to be treated disrespectfully.
It works better if a female colleague says it to the offending female.
