Female employee wearing sensational clothes in office

UpasnaS · #**271** 12-07-2008, 02:33 AM

Hi Preeti,

I would suggest that this new girl needs some personal counselling.

You can start with reminding her of her new role and environment. Help her in differentiating between a media house and IT company. Further more, make her realize that being a Business Development Manager, she is the first point of contact for clients and she should dress up in accordance and for that Business Formals will be appropriate choice. Tell her that her wardrobe collection is awesome but can not be fitted in your office environment.

Before doing this, discuss this issue with your director/manager in the same note. Make him realise that business manager needs decency with good looks and I feel, we should groom this lady for this perfect combination.

Regards,
Upasna

Dear Preeti,

My suggestion is that you drop a general mail to everyone about dress code,people will come to know to whom it is intended for.

hello preeti,

when somebody joins an organisation he gets a letter to be signed and accepted, actually that is a format of accepting the norms of organisation, this is one thing.
next is no problem ur org does not have any dress code, if something is written and very well circulated it is give due reagrad as a legal document of the company.\
do not mail to everybody , just use ur authority give a suggesion to her (oral suggesion) and if the problem continues , u can use the warning letter.

regards

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

Dear Preeti,

Even though your organisation do not have a formal dress code policy still it is the duty of the Management (in this case HR Dept) to ensure that people do not violate the decency line. If this new Joinee of yours is not wearing decent clothing, I think you should first have a word with her telling her that she should dress decently and in a more socially acceptable manner. This should be a one to one talk between you and the person. If things don't fall in place and the dress behaviours don't improve, then it will be wise enough to mark a mail to her coping in the Director. It should be kept in mind that for one person you can't pollute the culture of the organisation.

After my email she was changed for a month but from last few days she has again started same thing. I dont know what should i do. Am waiting for my director to tell me so i will act accordingly. Thanks for all your support.

Preeti,

Better ignore her,

and concentrate on other things, there might be lots of pending work, which are more important this girl, and her dress, which is become a hot topic in citehr.

Better end this now. And might be Mr. Bijendra told the truth, dont know may be in wind industry only the girls who wear sensational clothes might be able to survive.

So evne at his point he is right
