Dress codes – should you have one? How strict should they be? How do you address the issue when an employee doesn’t meet the standards without offending the team member? 

With so many questions, it might seem easier to forgo setting a dress code entirely. But did you know that your company’s dress code is a vital part of your culture? Setting standards around how your team should present themselves allows your brand image to be established fully. Even more, it can be empowering instead of restricting when done right.  

Fashion executive Angela Foster joined the Growing Your Team podcast to discuss how to set a dress code that is an extension of your brand, how to communicate what is acceptable to your employees, and what to do when team members are not following the rules.

In this Episode You’ll Hear:

  • How do you define your brand’s style in a way that encompasses the entire company
