This webinar on Workplace Dress Codes will discuss your reasons and rights as an employer to establish a dress code in your workplace and how to develop and adopt one that complements your business. In addition, this webinar will talk about the pitfalls of having too rigid of a dress code, and how that dress code can land an employer in hot water.

Objectives of the Presentation
  • Understanding the key components of a dress code: What should be included and what should be left out of the dress code
  • Learn how the dress code should complement the company culture
  • Identify ways to address the issue when an employee is violating the dress code policy
  • Recognize the top pitfalls to a dress code and how to avoid claims of discrimination

Why Should you Attend
Establishing a Dress Code for your business today is not as simple as it once was. Most dress code problems have centered on the issue of gender bias--but this does not mean that the code must be the same for both genders. Courts have concluded that employers may enforce dress codes even if they are different for men and women, as long as the standards for each gender are reasonable for the business environment at issue.

This webinar discusses your reasons and rights as an employer to establish a dress code in your workplace and how to develop and adopt one that complements your business. Considerations range from what is considered professional attire to cultural and generational preferences. It will also discuss when to make accommodations to the dress code when it comes to ADA and religious accommodation issues.

It will also discuss how to establish clear guidelines for employees, the reasons behind decisions for dress and how to be comfortable, yet professional.
