Hi everyone,

More or less the same. We are a retailer and have our own dress code. There are some seniors who feel that this dress code or certain other policies are not for them. For example, ties should be worn by all, but certain people will never follow, and others start asking why you are not asking these people to follow. Rules are for everybody. Recently, we have put a circular on the bulletin board telling everyone to follow the dress code. Now, everybody is following except a few seniors. I feel grooming new people is easier than seniors. I am not sure if this is right. Please advise on how to go about this.

Regards,

Dear All,

You may try this with help from Top Management:

1. Send emails or other polite communications requesting compliance without referring to complaints received from others.
2. Follow up with face-to-face meetings to discuss the reasons for non-compliance with company policy.
3. Ask for their suggestions as alternatives if they have any.
4. Take the issue to Top Management, as in the long run, you are heading for more trouble.
5. In the meantime, keep communicating with staff who complained that you are working on this issue and obtain a time limit to prevent further nuisance or actions that may aggravate the situation.

Best Regards,
