The relaxed attitude that began invading corporate America in the early 1990s has seen a decade of bewildered business people trying to follow the trend, yet still maintain their professional credibility. What's more, with current trends favoring a return to traditional business wear, it's easy to see why so many people get confused. One of the biggest reasons why there's so much uncertainty is that few companies have established policies. That was certainly the case with the accounting clerk. Pros Casual wear makes you appear more friendly and relatable than traditional business dress.
Employees are more relaxed in comfortable clothes and tend to be more at ease with their coworkers.
Casual days boost employee morale by demonstrating that even though you're business, you're not JUST business. A casual code may mean the very difference between hiring talent and losing them to the competition. An increase in tardiness, absenteeism, and early departures. An increase in foul language and inappropriate conversation. An increase in provocative actions, which lead to more complaints to HR, and consequently, to more litigation.
