The recent “Shoegate” incident when temp worker Nicola Thorp was sent home for not wearing high heels has put the issues around appropriate and inappropriate dress at work firmly back in the spotlight.
It nearly always arises when we hit sunny weather when the “when is a flip flop actually a sandal“ argument rears its head!
So we thought it may be a good time to revisit some guidelines around how to deal with a team member who is inappropriately dressed for work (which could be anything from being too casual - T-shirts, rather than shirts - to revealing a bit too much)
So how to start?

I thrive on seeing people do things they didn’t think they could do! I draw on my management and leadership experience from working in senior positions in the Metropolitan Police Service, running Focal Point since 2002 and working across all three sectors in the widest variety of environments. Because we rarely learn things first time, we believe it is vital to provide support before, during and after the events we run, in order to get the best from them. Time and time again people have told us how the chance to review their learning and to have their actions reinforced has really helped cement new ways of doing things. This is what has then made the difference that they and we are looking for. I am a fellow of the CIPD and when I am not working with clients I can be seen on the golf courses of Hampshire.
