A workplace dress code policy only works if it is communicated clearly and enforced fairly. HR often writes the policy but has to work with managers, business partners and executives to apply it consistently.
This 60-minute webinar shows how to set and manage dress and appearance policies that fit your goals and culture while limiting legal exposure. You'll learn how to deal with provocative or inappropriate clothing, unhygienic employees, tattoos, facial hair and piercings, transgender dress issues, and employees who keep pushing the limits. The session also covers protected class considerations, working with your legal department, and responding to accommodation requests.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Dress and appearance rules must protect the employer from discrimination claims while respecting employees' rights. A clear, easy-to-understand dress code prevents many problems and keeps standards consistent across staff.
This session suits HR professionals and team leaders, especially those introducing or changing a dress code or spending too much time on dress code problems, and employee relations professionals.
