Developing Effective Dress Code Policies
Wednesday, March 24th - 1-2:30 p.m.
Live Webinar presented by Rockhurst Conference Series
Discover how to write, implement, and enforce legally sound practices that are fair - and followed - by all of your employees. Eliminate dress code confusion by creating a clear and easy-to-follow policy that’ll stand up in court!
Eliminate hours of frustration and time being the “fashion police” for your company or department. You’ll coolly and confidently handle any dress code problems that arise.
And, because one of the fastest-growing areas of litigation today pertains to poorly written or vague dress code policies, you’ll learn exactly what needs to be in your dress code policy … what you can and cannot enforce … and how to enforce it without the specter of a lawsuit hanging over your head.
Protect your company image and be prepared for even the toughest dress code situations.
