As part of the business work force, we are obliged to follow the work dress code set by the company we work with. This dress code is the standard that the company has formulated to provide employees guidance regarding what is suitable and appropriate to wear to work. Each company has developed their own work dress code and how formal or casual it is depends on how much interaction the employees have with customers and clients. Companies may even adapt different dress codes for those with employees in contact with customers while others are not. Usually, those employees with no interaction with customers or client have a more casual dress code. And some companies have corporate uniforms that are more formal for certain days or occasions and a more casual one on a Friday.
Whether corporate uniforms are the same for all employees or not the dress code makes it easier for employees to appear professional and reliable. It also creates the right impression to others while at the same time creates the discipline for all employees. In formal business shirts, employees act and behave as conservatively as what they wear. Not only do their employers expect them to conduct themselves appropriately but they feel their demeanor changing befitting their company's image. There are times though that some company uniforms are not so comfortable and thus professional image is not thoroughly achieved
Creating a positive company image does not rely on just wearing the company uniform. Employers should also remember that to fulfill the requirements of a business dress code, it is important that it needs to be comfortable too. And on the part of the employees, care should be given to avoid mistakes so the proper image is still upheld. Make sure that the business clothing is clean, unwrinkled and look professional. Mind that the length of skirts is not too short, the heels of the shoes are not too high to be uncomfortable, and business shirts and tops are not revealing. Always remember that how people see one employee determines the image of the company. So care should both be given by employers and employees alike if they want to create a positive and professional image through their corporate uniforms.
