Some organisations believe that their employees should dress smartly. Others value quality of work above appearance. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

There are
companies
that think their workers should follow the office dress code during
work
. While others think that clothing is not related

should wear whatever they like. In my point of view, the approach can be different depending on a specific
company
and type of
work
.

argument I want to mention is that management can think that their employees are the face of the organization, that’s why they should wear a suit and look good. In
such
industries as finance and banking
people
definitely should wear good clothes and look smart for business meetings, it is the way to represent the values and reputation of a
company
.

people
in Sberbank always wear suits in offices, sometimes even

suits because they need them to be safe. Other
companies
think the other way.
Companies
with creative types of
work
don’t need their team to be suited, they need them to
work
properly. In IT
companies
or Marketing agencies
people
don’t usually represent their
company
in business meetings, they just

in the office.
For

in Google can wear whatever they want, even

until they are doing well with their tasks. Another situation when a smart dress code is not needed is when
people
try to optimize their
time
and spend it on creating some sort of outfit.
This
applies especially to IT
companies
again, directors or CEOs creating a minimalist wardrobe to save
time
. A good
example
is Steeve Jobs who wore just blue jeans, white sneakers and

and it even became a famous outfit that
people
are trying to recreate. In conclusion, organizations can create specifications for their workers to wear specific types of clothes if they represent an image of a
company
or if it's needed in their specific profession. Others don’t need it because of the creative and free

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
