...Professional Dress Code in the Workplace Rosaura P Bernal EN 306 – Nadia H Morales Park University The first impression is a lasting impression whether it is at the office, a party, a lunch date or an interview. What you wear to these events can be either a positive impression or a negative one. That is why I think it is very necessary to have a professional dress code in the workplace if your place of employment is that of a professional setting such as a bank or even an insurance company. If the professionalism does not show on what the employees are wearing, how are their customers going to accept that they are professionals at what they do. The business could lose the credibility of how they handle their business. Nowadays, offices are more lax with the trending fashions but do not realize that by letting their employees dress as they do now, they may be losing business. Managers should emphasize on the professional dress code so that the business will look more professional, they won’t lose customers or any business relationships they have with vendors and also so that they can avoid any type of controversy or altercations within the company. When new customers come into the place of business of a professional they expect to see the employees dress the part of that qualified, skilled employee who will be taking care of their business. Dressing professionally shows the level of sophistication that they hold and can affect the credibility of the business. I...

Dress code / uniform policy Terms of Reference Mr. Paul Chaves, the current Manager of SK Products and future local Manager of T-4 Telecom, asked to write a report on staff views about the possible introduction of Dress code policy. The report should be presented to Members of Operations Committee. Procedure I was asked to make a local research in our company SK Products (in future part of a large multi-national company T-4 Telecoms) about the dress code policy. As any decision should be discussed with the staff of the company, 4 questions were put to the current staff : 1. Would you be in favour of our branch introducing a uniform for staff? 2. Would you be in favour of our branch introducing a dress code for staff? 3. If a uniform was introduced, would you consider leaving the company? 4. If a dress code was introduced, would you consider leaving the company? I have spoken to the Head of Human Resources of T-4 Telecoms, who said to me that the dress code should be – white blouse or shirt with dark blue trousers or skirts. The T-4 Telecoms banned some types of footwear, particularly trainers. It was told that they don’t supply the outfits, but there is an extra clothes allowance in the staff’s salaries and wages. Findings The interviews with staff indicate that: * 4% of the staff might leave the company if a dress code was introduced, but 89% answered that they would not leave the company because of the dress code. * Staff do...

...Roles and responsibilities of public and private policing 1 Roles and responsibilities of public and private policing Sonequa L. James CJA 500 Tracy Webb, M.S., J.D. June 29, 2008 Roles and responsibilities of public and private policing 2 Abstract There is a direct relationship between public and private policing. As time change and with technology growing deterring crime does not rest only in the hands of public policing alone. Private policing is bridging the gap with public policing by assisting and deterring crimes via of prevention. Private policing comes in many forms to due to the advancement of technology when assisting the public police by hindering the act of crime. This paper will compare and contrast the roles and responsibilities of public and private policing. Roles and responsibilities of public and private policing 3 “The Baltimore County Police and Private Security Association was formed in 1987 in an effort to improve the relationship between the police department and private sector. By establishing lines of communications with organizations that share a common interest, a united front can be mounted to prevent crime in Baltimore County.” (Baltimore Co Police, 2008) In the past years there has been a negative stigma between public and private policing. Police officers encouraged these thoughts by using or speaking unethically when assisting private security with an arrest or investigating a crime. Over a period...

...Analysis of The Uniform Approach Works Schools standards have for a long time been declining and Elspeth Insch sees it as a vicious circle when a school has a bad reputation. In the article The uniform approach works by Mary Braid from The Summer times the 11th July, 2004. Elspeth Insch is showing three aspects, which could do a good part of improving the standards of the schools, but also to make the school self-govern and to improve the teaching and the teachers. Elspeth Insch is operating on a problem which Insch makes quite clear: declining of schools standards. Insch is a head herself so this problem is very relevant. She opens the article with this topic, followed by her own meaning of how to push up the standards by introducing the three aspects: school uniforms, competitive sports and a better house system, which she has used at her own school: King Edward VI Handsworth School in Birmingham, and has had positive effects on the students. Insch thinks that introducing uniforms would make every student equal and there would be no such thing as fashion competition. Insch believes that a uniform is a social leveller and a symbolic aspect, because it makes an air of business and high standards. * Then she is arguing for each aspect. * In the ending she shais that the real problem is a lack of good theachers, and she says that her suggestions is only cosmetic and the real problem lies in the teachers, and it is not enough that the goverment has improved teachers...

...The cons of enforcing a student to wear uniforms to school: When children are young they grow and develop their minds, their personalities, express that of who they are. They become individuals of their own person and what their interest is. Enforcing a child to wear a uniform this takes away their creativity of self-expression and who they are. We want to teach them that everybody is different and they are to accept those that are different from themselves. This cannot be done when every student is wearing the same thing. We cannot teach them to accept others that may be interested and self-express themselves such as one student may want to wear basketball shorts and t-shirt’s showing that he is into sports while another may want to wear dress pants, shirt and a tie to express that he is more mature and wants to pose a professional look onto himself. Students can also lose focus on their education where they will be seeking other outlets for self-expression and individuality such as tattoos, pierces, unacceptable hair styles and colors. Uniforms can also create a financial burden to families that may not be able to afford the required clothing when they can go to a Goodwill or thrift store and buy gently used items for their children to wear or even get hand me downs to clothe their child. If schools require certain colors this can also make them targets for hazing from other schools, this puts their lives into danger as well. Schools should want to push students to be individuals...

...Case Application 1 Done by Zhalgasova Korkem FIT 4th year (Tue 17.00-17.50) Checked by Sailybaev Almas Global Stumble 1. What obvious cultural differences between Nomura and Lehman do you see in this situation? Nomura is Japanese company and Lehman is American company, so these are two exactly different nationalities. Consequently, we can see here many cultural differences. For example, during Nomura’s initial training session for new workers, the men and women were separated. The women who were educated in prestigious universities like Harvard were taught how to choose clothes for job according to the season. The company’s dress code was strictly interpreted for women. Women from Lehman were told to remove highlights from their hair, to wear sleeves no shorter than mid-bicep, and to avoid brightly colored clothing. Several women were sent home to change their clothes. A Nomura’s authorities said that the dress code is displayed on the company’s intranet and is intended to ensure that clients and colleagues don’t feel uncomfortable. In my opinion, to sum up, some of the obvious differences that exist regard the treatment of females in the workplace, the degree of centralization and decision making...

...A debate of whether students should wear uniform to school has been in process for years. Students savor the freedom of no compulsion on uniform but are unsuccessful in recognizing the abundant advantages of wearing uniform. I fervently believe that students should wear uniform to school as it promotes discipline and discourages the rise of social conflicts. An evident advantage of school uniform is that students are able to focus more on their studies. In schools where uniform is not present, students spend much of their time choosing their clothes and getting dressed. Their focus is deflected off their studies and as a result, they suffer academically. Many students have also proven to suffer mentally. A large amount of kids are uncomfortable with their bodies and feel much more comfortable and relaxed in a loose uniform. Schools without uniforms also facilitate the progression of the feeling of inequality among students. The underprivileged students are easily distinguished from the well-off ones and thus the underprivileged students start feeling inferior to the rest. This also makes them more vulnerable subjects for mockery. In sheer distress, some students might even turn to drugs and alcohol. Thus, when school uniform is present, students are relieved of all such pressures and perform better. School uniforms are also a symbol of obedience, discipline and tidiness. The school is after all a place of learning and there is no need of fancy dressing at school. Students...

...low pants are fine for after school, but not for the classroom. T-shirts with risky images or profanity may be offensive to certain groups. Students should espress themselves through art or creative writing, not clothing. With fewer distractions, students can concentrate on getting a good education which can help them later on. Another benefit of having a dress code is that it will prepare students to dress properly for different places. When you go to a party you do not wear the same clothes you wear to church. Likewise, when you dress for work you do not wear the same clothes you wear at the beach. Many professions even require uniforms. Having a dress code in high school will help students adjust to the real world. Lastly, with all the peer pressure in school, many students worry about fitting in. If a dress code (or even uniforms) were required, there would be less emphasis on how you look, and more emphasis on learning. In conclusion, there are many important reasons our schools should adopt dress codes. Getting an education is hard enough...

...because she is not prohibited form using the clothes in her ordinary lifestyle. Analysis: IRS Sec. 162(a) states that all expenses classified as ordinary and necessary incurred for the purpose of the trade or business are deductible. IRS Sec. 262(a) imposes a limit on Sec. 162(a) to the extent that such expenses cannot be categorized as “personal, living, or family expenses.” The dilemma in this situation is whether the expensive clothing purchased by Brittany is categorized as ordinary and necessary for business purposes or as a personal expense. In revenue ruling 70-474, the IRS updates and restates that acquisition and maintenance of uniforms are deductible in the year paid if the uniforms are required by employment and not fit for ordinary wear. The interpretation of the rule is that in order to deduct the uniform expenses taxpayers need to meet full criteria...

...Why a school uniform My opinion about school uniform is that it is a good idea to have a uniform. If school students are poor and rich, you can not find difference between them, if they use school uniform. School uniform can also be good because many students tease others about how their clothes are. I think, it is very good that many schools have uniform. An other advantage for the school uniform could be that you do not always have to change your clothes every second day. Some students will not be mobbed because every students have the same uniform, but boys and girls have difference uniforms. The disadvantage for the school uniform is that parents can not afford it. Sometimes the teacher can be confused, because all students have the same uniform. It might be good if the pupils in our school wear school uniforms. Primarily, the students will see much better with school uniform than the normal clothes, they use everyday at school. Secondarily, any student in the school can not be embarrassed with their clothes. But it is also difficult for the parents to pay the price the school uniforms cots. I am sure that some students and parents are not on this agreement, but I am also sure that some students and parents are with the agreement as described above. The students will be equal with other children, who are rich. Of course, I will wear a school uniform, because I want to try something, I never have done before. Because the students in England use uniforms, I always wonder...

... Everybody in the world has a life. They get to live their life with basic freedoms that make up their lives. Unfortunately, some people have a life where they have laws that go against their basic freedoms. In Loung Ung’s memoir First They Killed My Father, she introduces the unfair, invading laws that went against the way she lives her life. In Loung Ung’s memoir First They Killed My Father, she was deprived the right to have an education. For example, in First They Killed My Father the text conveys, “Children in our society will not attend school just to have their brains cluttered with useless information. They will have sharp minds and fast bodies if we give them hard work. The Angkar cannot tolerate laziness. Hard work is good for everyone. Any kind of schooling carried out by anyone without the government’s approval is strictly forbidden” (Ung 318). This evidence demonstrated that when under the Angkar power, children will not go to school but will instead be put to work. They say that they don’t want the children’s brains being “cluttered with useless information”, but what they do want is the children to have “ fast bodies” or strong bodies. Children are having their right to go to schools and have an education being taken away from them. In reality, brains are over brawn. You can be the strongest person in the world but without no intelligence, you are considered a nut shell. In addition from not being able to have an education, Loung Ung wasn’t allowed to express...

...When Southwest High School banned the use of backpacks the student body did not seem to favor it. Doesn't the school want a happy smart learning environment? Well allowing this important learning tool we save time, benefit student health,and the backpacks do not pose safety hazards as originally believed. First with students being able to travel faster with their backpacks, we would save time. No longer will students be going to their lockers for forgotten materials because with carrying the backpack they will have all learning materials with them. Therefore lockers won't be a necessity anymore, so hallways will be less congested. This would make our custodian's job easier, so they don't have to worry about the misfortune of opening jammed lockers. Also this can save time between class, making students less stressed and worried about being on time. Furthermore, with the new technology today's improved backpacks can promote student health. Today’s ergonomic backpacks cause less back problems. The designers on these backpacks make them with a lot of helpful perks. Including padded shoulder pads, multiple handles for carrying, specially designed compartments to distribute weight more evenly across the back, contoured to be more snug against the body, thereby moving and shaking less, especially when running or bending down. With having your backpack around you have more privacy to carry around personal hygiene product and prevent embarrassment, For example if a girl would to...
