Some companies think that their employees should dress appropriately for their workplace and others believe that we can not value someone’s capability in work based on what they look like. I believe, although we need to dress formally for some crucial work occasion but we could not underestimate people’s quality just because of the way they dress. Everyone has their own preference on styles which do not affect their work performance because quality is not about how they look outside but how competent they are in manage some job duties.
Some organisation set a standard of what kind of clothes that their workers should wear because in their preference what they wear will reflect their organisation’s image. in some important meetings, employees are persuaded to wear a casual style like a suit or a blouse In addition, they tend they tend to choose people who looks good rather than who is actually have compentency. For example, some law firms require their employee to use formal clothes because it has impact in attracting more clients. The clients usually rely on an attorney who know how to dress properly because in their opinion it shows that they are being respected.
On the other hand, I believe that we could not judge someone preference in style over their value. Fashion style does not impact how an employee does in their work place. Quality is about how good we are in a task not how good our appearance. They can still create new innovation or gained more profits while looking like a mess. For example, an IT programmer can establish an advanced programs while using a simple shirt.
In conclusion, while dressing in a formal way is crucial for companies’ branding, they should judge their workers quality based on what they are wearing because capabilities beyond appearances.
