Hi everyone,

I am working in a manufacturing organization as an HR Executive. Please let me know the important points to be covered in the "Dress Code Policy." My seniors were not so concerned about having a dress code policy, but now, as the management has decided and instructed me to create a proper policy regarding the same.

The management has instructed to cover points like avoiding bright colors on weekdays and also to mention formal dress as well as casual attire on weekdays but to avoid T-shirts and jeans. I am confused about how to frame the points if we are mentioning casual attire on weekdays. Is it correct to include this in the policy?

Please help.

Thanks

Hello Anupamma,

The dress code policy can be evolved by finding answers to these questions:

1.0 Avoiding bright colours, T-shirts, and jeans are already covered.
2.0 Should everyone wear a tie?
3.0 Are sports shoes allowed or not allowed?
4.0 Wearing shorts is not permitted.
5.0 Wearing a dress like Capri is not allowed.
6.0 Is the company contemplating having a uniform?
7.0 Are employees expected to wear a blazer?
8.0 Avoid too tight or too loose clothes.

By asking such questions, you will gain information and clarity.

One more dimension:

In manufacturing organizations, there will be a dress code to maintain safety while handling or operating machines and equipment. If you have employees going out for client calls, or clients visiting your place, it is then better that those sections of employees be formally dressed. Gone are the days when people working in the IT industry were wearing all kinds of dresses (of course with certain limitations!). These days even IT professionals have been asked to be a little more serious in dressing because 'seriousness in dressing begets seriousness in business and attitude'! Further, weather conditions prevailing in a particular part of the country or world play a crucial role.

Hence, you have to take into account all practical aspects before arriving at a decision. It is also better to make a draft proposal for circulation among senior management staff, getting their views as well. The reason is that ultimately when it comes to glitches, you can't overcome them without the active support of senior management.

Best wishes
