Female employee wearing sensational clothes in office

The circumstances you find yourself in can be found in nearly all companies that may have some kind of ambiguity in their personnel policies. If there is a policy on what to wear to office then you must make this lady aware of it.
It may so happen that she might be unaware of it, hence the outrageous dress sense. It will also work as a subtle / non confrontational way of bringing her dressing sense to her notice.

Hope it helps

Hello Preeti,

Writing a mail to director and marking a copy will not solve the purpose as some of the male members (out of the twelve staff) will object to it and situation may go wrong against you .

Better way of solving the issue is to address a meeting with the director or high official if possible to set certain standards of Dress Code which will not not include that girl(new joinee) but also others new joinee+present also.

In my organisation it was made clear by my HR that no one should wear the clothes which seems objectionable (like transparent) and writen something vulgar on T Shirts.

So simply conduct a meeting with your Director addressing the situation that " some of the employees are not maaintaing proper dress code (exclude that girl) and take all employyes into sphere "

Hi preethi,
As you said there were no polices for dress codes . so The better choice is to implement a polices for dress code in ur organisation through your Head HR. This issues has to be spoken in Board member meet that will help out you.
You should start like as we r professionals so there should be dress code for all employees with certain freedom .

Hi Preeti,
Ignore Narsimhans mail. Being as a HR Person you can directly talk to her in private about this matter. If you dont want to discuss, just shoot an email without mentioning the name to all the female employees in your orgnization. If she doesnot realize then better to go to your director to recommend a dress code and mention the same in your email. I wish she can realize herself.

Take care,
Nisha

hi preeti, nowadays we are totally relied on the western culture.But dress code is very important in the organisation.As a HR you should tell the dress code of your company in the induction also. regards Raj

Dear Preeti,Let me know one thing , whether in HR Handbook of your company has mentioned specifically regarding Dress code or attire. If it is mention you have a right to ask to that female. Otherwise, talk to yor GM-HR regarding the issue. If the Drees code point is not mention , modify your policy immediately.That particular female is spoiling the work enviornment. Take initiative and act as a Counsellor for her.Companys like Infosys also follow Dress code sense strictly. Whatever post she is holding. Rules and Reglulations are same for everybody.I qusetion our employees directly if there attire is not proper.Regards,Nimish JoshiMumbai09969526325

Dear Preeti,Dress code represnts organisational culure and we as HR Managers are resposbile for the same. I think if we don't keep a check on dreesing style it might encourage others to pass on weird comments.... and we are resposible for the security and safety all sepcilay female employees.In this case I think first of all dress code should be mentioned in HR Manuals also mentioning that any breach may force Mngt to take appropriate action like sending person to home and marking it as leave... etcIf then also there is no change then1) send mail to all females2) No change- send mail specificaaly to that lady3) still no change- Counsel her individually4) Still no change- take tough stand of standing her homeHope by now your point will be made clear to the person.Preeti

Hi preethi ,

this is my first post, really u r proving teraffic concern abt ur organsiation by asking for such help. Well, u can report ur admin. dept.so that not only u can control that odd wearing as can as may avoid any future shameful event which may take place coz of that mischievious girl.

Hi Preeti May be im late in reading ur mail, however i feel as a HR personal u have to deal with this kind of matter very sensiably without hurting that girl's feeling vis-a-vis maintaining ur organisation culture. So my suggestion wud be as follows :-(a) Take the view of her team members without them knowing it. And if u find her team members are comfortable then please dont waste your valuable time.(b) If not, then call that girl in private and tell what others feel about her without taking anyone's name in perticular. Politely ask her if she can change her dress code while giving her liberty to take her own decisions as there is no dress code in ur organisation.(c) lastly if u think it is time for her to change then be assertive and proactive in formalisaing a dress code for the organisation after discussing the same with ur seniors.

hi,The best suggestion is to handle it diplomatically. Send a common liner to all staff mentioning the dress code on weekdays and also on weekend. Being a HR person, i think it would be appropriate to even talk to the female employee on the culture and the tradition the company has been following. Draft a dress code policy ASAP as there could be more new comers in the years to come!!Rebecca
