But let’s talk a little bit about dress codes at work – some people like them as they enjoy looking professional or not having to worry how ‘fancy’ they need to look, while others hate it due to maybe them having a completely different style or feeling uncomfortable in professional attire.
Moreover, it demonstrates professionalism and encourages productivity. A more driven and effective team, as well as a boost of confidence, can result from all employees dressing professionally. And, of course – in some industries – adhering to safety standards.
However, while there are quite a few benefits of a dress code at work, not everybody enjoys it.Career Mindsnotes that a survey shows a staggering 33% of employees stated that if their employer enforced a clothing code, they would resign from their positions or decline an offer.
Additionally, they discovered that individuals would decline a $5,000 raise in order to be able to dress more casually.
