Hi Prreti,

If you and your organization has been working comfortable without a dress code so far, there is no point in imposing one now just because of this newcomer.

This would face resistant from all your employees who are working for long without a dress code.

So only this new member needs to be told about a taken for granted assumption about the dress code in your organiztaion.

Obviously if she is not wearing decent clothes, its clear that she has not been informed about this earlier.

Also, i feel dropping a general mail to everyone would hurt this new employee's feelings.

Better you drop a specific mail to this particular girl but addressing it as if it has been sent to all

For ex.

(sending only to this girl)

Dear All,

I am proud to say that we all have been working in a team with comfort which has been promoted by the promotion of our traditional values as well that ofcourse is exhibited the way we dress up.

Regardless the fact that we do not have a dress code, it is very much reflected in all our employees dress up that we respect a culture of formals or semi-formals and smart casuals on weekdays.

Here, i take up the responsibility to remind you all that this culture is only welcomed here and any violations in this would be followed by representaion of our discomfort.

So, i hope you all would follow the fact and promote a culture of happy and healthy friendship amongst all of us.

Prreti, you send this mail only to this girl, see the impact, if nothing happens, just call her and tell her this strictly.

As sending a general mail would create discomfort to her.

Be specific

Hope this helps.

Take care
Shradha Goyal

Hi All,

Thanks again and again for all your responses. My director has told me to wait for 15days and then also if she doesnt change her dressing then we will implement dress code policy.
Any ways i will keep you all updated on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Preeti

Hi Preeti,

Now you are going on right way, but one think, if any organisation has no dress code then female why wear transparancy cloths, no problum, now this is the humane, because the rules made for men, not men for rules.

Thanks go ahead

Hi Preeti,

It is really a good idea to have a policy, i feel companys should have mandatory policies.

Thanks,
Praveen.

Hi,

I would suggest that its high time for your organisation to prepare a dress code for both male and female employees. Get the approval from the higher up's and directors, so that it gets formally documented. But what is required as a first step is shooting a mail to all employees saying them that even though we dont have any documented form of dresscode, we have be following decent codes all these days and shall continue the same in future also.

In the same mail, include statements like, "we are ambassadors of our Organisation and anything we do / act will have a direct impact on our company image. Lets try to maintain the image of our organisation, one such way is the dress decently @ office"

I believe this will be the best way as everyone will know whom it points and if she doesnt come to line, then u can take the next step of mailing her personally not to do so.

Regards,
Laavanyah.

Dear Preethi,

As a HR person it is your duty to find such problems and find solutions for that. Now this new employee is not wearing a proper dress. So bee cool and frame a good proper dress code and discuss with your collegues and take their opinions and involve all, even this employee also so that she will not feel that she is targeted and then put up a draft to your superiors and explain them the reason why we should have a dress code. Quote some good professional reasons to your superiors not what you have seen. Here you have to convince your management with your ability that why dress code is necessary and finally get it approved. All your problems will be solved in a professional way. Thats the way we HR People should act. We should not act like others. Now in this case you have noticed one female wearing such dresses and in future some males can also do the same thing. So we should not see that is it male or female. Not only in this case in all such cases you should act like this. In future whenever there is new appointments that time give them induction programme and during that induction you should explain the individual about their dress code, discipline etc.

With regards

Suresh g nair

such things have to b spoken personally and just putting on mail will become formal and can lead to minunderstandings...

We are IT software co. with staff of 12 + this new joiner now 13. we wear jeans in week days too but till date we have never felt awkward even wearing capris on Saturdays. All girls and boys wears smart casuals on weekends and in weekdays smart formals or semi formals.
This girl wears salwar kameez also in so vulgar way that it looks so cheap we feel uncomfortable talking with our male staff. All my colleagues are unhappy with her dressing in fact she is giving chance to guys. which is so bad. She wears backless tops with capris or jeans combine this tops with transparent jackets from which every thing is visible, she wears salwaar kameez with horrible necks and backs are always open that too with sleeveless. It looks like she is doing this things purposely she doesn't take care about her exposed body parts. Very soon she will spoil our environment in office.
Being HR i was just watching till date as she is new joiner so i thought it doesn't look good to pinpoint her but now am thinking to drop her email without keeping copy to my director as he is a guy i feel awkward.
Please suggest me should i keep a copy or mark mail to all the girls or to her only. I know no one else needs this email but only i want her to stop wearing all this nonsense clothes at least in office she can wear anything in her personal time.

Please reply me asap so that i can drop her email.

Thanks

Hi Preeti,

Being HR, you have full right to introduce a policy in your organisation.Send across a mail to everyone(including boys) stating that, we expect you to wear smart casual to the office. If she understands,then well n good.But, if she doesn't the get her in a room and give her a formal feedback.It will definitely work.

Regards,
CB
