COMPANIES ASK WOMEN TO DRESS “SEXIER” FOR ZOOM CALLS...

To generate business according to a news item on ITV Good Morning
Britain!



The discussion covered what to wear for zoom meetings when working from home. One point of view was in favour of a very
relaxed approach t-shirt, even pyjamas were mentioned. The point being if working from home standard dress code doesn’t matter.


What do you think? Does it matter?



Here’s my view.

You are still a professional wherever you are working.
You are still representing the company you work for
You are still representing yourself in business and should be your
own best advert for the business you are in.
Sloppy dress on any business occasion, even virtually, sends the
message you don’t really care? Is that what you want?
Don’t let your standards drop. You will be judged on it. Smart
casual is best, so what does that mean?
For women or men, a smart top/well-pressed shirt, groomed hair,
and a pair of comfortable trousers or skirt.


Plus, please look like you are paying attention and not fiddling with

something offscreen.
