Course Description

Pre-Covid, the concept of “professional dress” was under severe strain.

Today, as we begin to return to the office, employees are using traditional discrimination concepts in making claims of lifestyle discrimination based upon sexual orientation, gender identity, physical appearance, piercings, tattoos, smoking, and other privacy/personal issues.

At what point does the employee’s right to self-expression interfere with the employer’s right to set boundaries?

Employers must find a happy medium between requiring appropriate dress among their employees and respecting their legal rights. It is critical to establish a balance between workers who favor more formal business attire and those who want the freedom to wear their lifestyle choices.

Attend this CPE webinar to understand how to implement/change a dress code policy and how to avoid becoming the “dress-code police.”
