Suggestion: Probably the owner of the Topic, it would be great after some time, they summerize the soultions expressed by all and conclude the same,so that it would be a quick reference for all those who what the learn from case studies.

Infact my suggestion holds good for almost every topic we raise and there will be great amount of learning from Lessions Learnt and Summaries.

Please add, if any other suggestions you have.

Thanks & Regards,

Who will decide what is wrong and what is right ?
Is really her dressing is problem ? Or the attitude of staff ? She is doing what she feels is right.

Try to tell her about dressing like other female staff and she will resign very moment !

Hi.
I think, being a person from HR the first thing we need to do is to inform a person of the official decorum and dresscode.I dont' think so that there is any problem in being direct and telling her about what an Organisation wants in an employee.We do this on day 1 of joining at the time of Induction and still if at any stage it is found that someone is breaking that rule or laid down norm, we call that person to HR and politely convey these things.Nothing offensive in it.

hi Priti,

firstly, had this new joinee undergone Induction process or through the companys policies (since dress code is a part of it).
Secondly, if she has gone through the above mentioned process then perhaps you and your senior need to discuss this matter with her on one to one basis.
thirdly, also keep in mind that the culture of IT and Media are very different.

hope my suggestions will be of help

Hello preeti

Three Years back Company which I am working right now has no dress code at all & all the time Girls & Boys are coming in so many colourful / volgur dresses. First of all I call the girls who are not in decent dresses & talk them individually and told them to come in proper dress & simultaneously I have spoke to the managment about the same and issue a circular to all our offices with proper guidelines and it has been told strictly if any body found not complying the same will be fined havily. Now our all offices are maintaing proper dress ethic.

So I hope you got the point.

All the best..

Mihir

Hi Preeti,

Being HR, you need to take care of your organisation and your employees' welfare and their conduct. You should make an habit of releasing the HR circulars whenever there is necessary. As everyone say all the organisations have their own dress code.

You also try to implement dress code when the strength of the employees are less in number. It will be easy to implement.

Make one circular and send it to all the employees and watch for a week, still if she doesn't change her dressings, you can talk to her personally. If she doesn't listen, you can take further steps. In that dress code, one day you can allow them to wear cusual dress and rest all the days formals.

Thanks and regards

Vijay

Hi preeti,

These things happen all the time in European workforce. Here managers ofter say somethng like "aren't you a bit cold?" or "That is not very appropriate for the office... Maybe for a nighclub, but not for an office."

Make sure she notices that she is the only one dressing not to standard.

If she says those are her office clothes... Suggest she buys some new shirts when the paycheck arrives.

Just be honest and straighforward...

Dear Preeti

Even if your organization has no written dress code, still such things cannot be ignored. I suggest you bring into her notice the dress patterns and advise her to improve it. If she insists on wearing revealing clothes, then issue her a warning letter with the consent of your boss.
