Dress for Success

Monday 17th of March 2008 11:26:27 PM

Business Daily at BDAfrica.com has an interesting article discussing how your work clothing can effect your productivity and professionalism. Fusion Call Centre has recently hired many new employees and has provided a 1,000-rand allowance for a new executive wardrobe for every employee. Even though these people never see the customers they provide services to, the way they dress can help them with motivation and persuasion.

Employees who are allowed to wear casual clothing to work are more likely to treat their jobs the same. This means that they lack the initiative to make the sale. On the other side, customers who see these employees will be less likely to trust their investments with employees who are wearing jeans and a t-shirt .

Not only does it affect professionalism, this article points out that non-executive clothing can lead to increased disruptive behavior in the workplace such as bad language, disrespect to the company and other employees, missing more days of work and tardiness.

Many companies require their employees to wear uniforms or polo shirts with logos. This keeps the company looking good and the employees work ethic high.
