Some organizations believe that their employees should dress smartly. Other value quality of work above appearance. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
A large number of corporates have laid down some stringent guidelines regarding the dress codes of
employees
. While some believe that the quality of the job is critical, others argue that how well employees
are dressed is crucial. In this
essay, I will discuss both sides of the argument and support the latter opinion.
On the first
hand, some people believe that those, who dress aptly at work, might perform better than those who do not. The reason for this
is that staff, in general, are the face of the organization that they represent, dealing with and resolving issues of customers regularly. To illustrate this
point, an employee dressed smartly can create a positive impression of the organization before their consumers. In contrast
, staff who lack the basic activities when dealing with customers would undoubtedly damage the reputation and image of the brand. As a result
, it will affect the company's sales.
On the other hand
, I would argue that the quality of work is more relevant than how brilliantly an employee can dress. The main reason is that employees
are paid to undertake tasks within a fixed time frame regardless of gender, caste, and religion. It is the performance that differentiates a high-performance employee from the rest. For example
, allowing workers to wear comfortable clothes can enable them to spend less time getting ready and divert some of their extra time to their family, enhancing their productivity too, owing to less stress.
In conclusion, although
dressing smartly can enhance the performance of a few staff, it is the quality of work, I think, that matters at the end of the day. I believe companies should spend heavily on the training and development of their employees
