1 This report examines whether there is a need for the company to have a dress code. There has never been a dress code before, and at the moment employees are able to wear whatever they like to work. However, there is a clause in all contracts which states that employees “should dress smartly.”

2 In my opinion most employees dress very badly. For example some employees wear jeans to work, especially the younger members of staff. Sometimes the jeans are neither new nor clean. There are also very few men who wear ties, in fact only the senior members of the finance department wear ties. An increasing number of employees wear t-shirts. Moreover it is my view that some of the women in the summer look unprofessional when they wear sandals.

3 It is important to wear smart clothes to work because it gives a good impression to customers. In addition it shows that employees are professional. Wearing casual clothes suggests that we are also casual about our work, which is certainly not the case.

4 This report therefore proposes that a clear dress code needs to be introduced with effective guidelines for employees to follow. It is recommended that all men wear ties although not necessarily suits. The report proposes women should wear shoes all year round. The wearing of jeans and t-shirts should be prohibited for both men and women with the exception of the dispatch department.
