Dress for Success

Make sure you have done everything in the checklist:

 Step 1: Decide what dress is best for your workplace. Do employees have to be
professionally dressed in suits and ties? Are jeans OK? You may have different
requirements for different groups of employees based on the kind of work they do.

 Step 2: Clearly state expectations. This is an opening statement. “This is a creative
organization where clothing worn for work can express employee individuality” or “As a
financial institution, our appearance represents the formal trust that our customers
place with us to manage their money.”

 Step 3: Write a section about dress for men and one for women. “Men who interact
with customers must wear a shirt with a collar, tie, jacket and neat slacks during work
hours.” “Women who work in back office functions are permitted to wear casual
clothing that is free of excessive wear, tear and frayed edges.”

 Step 4: List any specific items that will not be allowed in your workplace. These may
include shorts, shirts that bare bellies, flip-flops and tank tops. This list should end with
the statement “or any other article of clothing that does not meet the expectations set
out in this policy.” If buttons that light up in neon colors become a new fashion craze,
you want to be able to exclude those.

 Step 5: Decide on and write a procedure for what will happen if an employee violates
the policy. This may include sending them home, asking them to wear a jacket or some
kind of disciplinary notice.

 Step 6: Include a statement that the company has the right to change or review dress
code.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Directions:
Use Word and list five personal strengths and one personal weakness. Write a 100-
word summary on what you can do to overcome the weakness.
Student example.
Strengths:
1. I am very organized with my belongings.
2. All my work is produced with neatness and care.
3. I am very loyal and truthful.
4. I am very dependable and respectful.
5. I do not give up easily.

Weakness
I am very shy and quiet around new people.

I think I get very shy and quiet around new people because I don’t get a lot of exposure
and thus am not use to it. However, with the clubs I am in, I get more exposure and
more experience. With my friends, I am very talkative and helpful. The more people I
meet and befriend, the more I can show my real self. Therefore, I just need to learn to
meet new people and interact with them the way I always do with my friends. I face
this everyday through going to new places, starting new classes, going to club activities,
and volunteering. The more exposure means the more practice I can get.
