Do Organizations have a Right to tell their Employees how to Dress or Groom?

Ordinarily, businesses are expected to hire their employees without discriminating against any applicant based on religious, gender, race, or disability grounds. However, there are cases where employers have been accused of rejecting applications from particular applicants on the same grounds. Despite the hullabaloo, organizations have a right to require their employees to dress or behave in a particular manner, especially when in the work environment. There are many reasons why organizations require their employees to use a certain dress code or grooming behavior. For example, an organization may require its employees to have a certain, official dress code when ...

Fashion is a general trend especially in dress code as well as behavior that is common among a particular group of people. Fashion falls under a wide range; accessories, furniture, body make ups among others. However, when one talks about fashion the first thought that comes to mind is all about clothing. According to Toledo, “But what you most likely don't think of is an art, a career, a passion, or a lifestyle” (2013). Different people have different ways on the style of clothing they wear as well as how they behave depending on their culture, weather, beliefs, personal experiences as well as environment (Lori, ...

What is meant by business casual or corporate casual. How should you dress for interviews?

Over the recent years, many firms have instituted business or corporate casual dress code, and invitations to corporate functions often give suggestions on the type of clothing guests should wear. The term is somehow vague, however, and sometimes leads to pervasive confusion. Even though it clearly differentiates itself from business formal wear, which suggests a tailored suit and tie, it should not be confused with casual wear such as a t-shirt and jeans. Business or corporate casual refers to a type of office clothing style or dress code that is more casual than the traditional business wear (Ciletti, 2010). Many businesses have ...

It is not a secret that professional appearance inspires respect and is conducive to business communication. According to Chaney & Martin (2007), “First impressions are often lasting impressions; research shows that 55 percent of this first impression is based on appearance” (p.28). Looking at overall appearance people often decide whether or not they like you and will do business with you. At subconscious level this comes within 5 seconds of the first encounter. Appropriate business dress, hygiene and grooming describe your attitude to work, professionalism, preparedness, intelligence and self-confidence. Companies have policies that regulate professional appearance in their workplace. The following ...

I agree with the solutions to the Dress Code Policy. I have been in workplaces where other employees did not follow the Dress Code Policy and it caused contention amongst other employees so I feel it is important to take proactive measures to ensure compliance. In the Case Study I agree that posting the Dress Code Policy in an eye catching place as a reminder is very effective. As well as dismissal if the employee fails to change their behavior after all other steps are exhausted. If you were the person who violates the Dress Code Policy, what would ...

Part 1: View and Analysis

In the context of the second slide, it is evident that the level of professionalism is not as high. For instance, one of the medical practitioners in the image is wearing a suit. Although suits might be professional in other areas, they are an unacceptable set of attire while within the hospital. As such, a person wearing a suit is expected to hang his or her coat and put on a lab coat as a way to ensure that he or she will be easily identified by the patients and other medical practitioners. As such, being dressed in uniform or hospital attire is a key ...

Nowadays, there are a lot of people who are concerned about the way they look very much. The implications can be very different. There are different factors that can cause this phenomenon.

The Miniskirt

The origin of the miniskirt lies in the heart of the so called Swinging London of the 1960s. Mary Quant, a dressmaker who sold her own fashionable, and desired, designs from a store in the London district of Chelsea can be regarded as the creator of the (twentieth- century) miniskirt. Because of her privileged spot within the London fashion district and her grasp of how to connect to a mass audience (instead of relying on the ‘old’ trickle-down effect), her creation – that started out as simple street fashion – turned out to be an international fasion style. It was picked up by famous ...

People have always been distinguished by a sense of superiority and pride for when it comes to their origins, culture, and civilization, compared to others.

The audience, as well as myself, were dressed in casually formal attire, as if we were attending a school recital or a semi-fancy restaurant. They did not seem generally enthused by the piece of ...

These ongoing processes refer to socialization. Barron further says, "socialization is imperative in the world we live in today since it is through socialization that each new generation ...

In addition, the author manages to tell the story in a charming way devoid of boredom through the use of simple language and picturesque descriptions. However, it is not lost to the keen reader how the author attempts to explore contentious issues through his characters and symbols. For example, the use of bathing suits is symbolic of the themes that ...

Nowadays there are harsh debates about implementation of uniforms into schools and universities.

During the school and university years students interact with each other, exchange information, have fun and study, therefore the way they are dressed really matters. The essay will stress upon major issues students have with ...

It is difficult to defend Tom’s statement that candidates can be discriminated against based on physical appearance. Although it is in general true that people “naturally” favor more attractive people, when it comes to a business, hiring, legal, or similar situation, discrimination should not be tolerated because attractiveness is highly subjective. It is easy to imagine situations in which appearance affects a candidate’s hiring prospects in ways that are natural but unethical and discriminatory. The obvious example is in a hiring situation in which an under-qualified but better-looking person is hired over a less-attractive but well-qualified candidate. A friend once related a ...

The terror attack of 9/11 and the subsequent terror attacks have led to greater and intensive scrutiny of the Muslims in many parts of the world especially in Britain and America.

The integrity of the Muslim community was questioned in Britain and western countries making them more affiliated to terror attacks. The minority Muslim community therefore faced difficulties in integrating into the society as well as interaction ...

Introduction

Most students end up having disciplinary actions in their schools due to their dress codes which are considered unacceptable by their superiors. My stand on this matter is that, as long as one is still a student there are certain standard and regulations that must be upheld regarding school dress codes (Raby 22). The best option for me includes wearing of a school uniform rather than casual home clothes. Most high school students are at a stage where they are getting to experience who they are. School uniforms enable them to uphold the schools rules and regulations thus offering them a sense of ...

Vodka is believed to have been first produced in the 15th C in Moscow. In Russia it was first produced in 1386. The word ‘vodka’ means little water in Russia. This is because vodka looks like water.

SUMMARY OF EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS

Working Hours, Wages, Overtime & Incentive Pay The standard working day and week is generally an 8-hour day and a 40-hour week. There are a number of exceptions, such as in certain industries (construction, agriculture, fisheries, etc.), workers who set their own hours and earn more than double the average industrial wage, workers who “perform management functions primarily”. There is a conventional, societal distinction between wage-earners and salaried workers, however, for the purposes of calculating pay (e.g., for overtime, vacation, termination, etc.), a weekly salary is effectively divided by 40 in order to determine the de facto hourly wage. Overtime (of 150%) is ...
