In my opinion, Dress code makes us feel disciplined more over differences can be minimized. Regards, Vivek Mishra AM-HR & Admin

India is known for its culture, traditions, and values. If girls/women are getting an opportunity to work, they should concentrate more on their work with a healthy and presentable dressing sense. This could include trousers with a good branded shirt, suits, and sarees. Whether they are working in an MNC, they should not forget that the MNC itself is in India. Hence, girls should be modern in their thinking and implementation of great ideas rather than involving themselves in unnecessary issues of dressing sense, etc. Be proud, make your family proud, make your work proud, make your office proud, resulting in the pride of India.

Hi all,
The dress code is quite good as it fosters a sense of belongingness, similarity, and discipline. We can opt for informal attire on Friday and Saturday, but it should still be decent. Arti, you made a good point about being proud - making your family proud, your work proud, your office proud, ultimately resulting in the pride of India. I quite like that sentiment.
Thank you.

Dear Sir,
The employees should abide by the rules of the organization regarding the culture, customs, and other norms at their workplace. As per the Sexual Harassment Act of 2005, one of the clauses states that every employer shall take all necessary and reasonable steps to prevent and ensure that no woman employed in the establishment is subjected to sexual harassment by any third party during the course of employment. In the event of such sexual harassment occurring, the employer should take all necessary steps to assist the aggrieved woman in redressing the act of sexual harassment.

Pity on comments of Mr. Ravi Shankar!!!! Ravi, Will you, as a father, allow your daughter/sister to wear short or mini skirts and roam around in the office or on roads? I think never. As an HR professional, what I suggest is that there should be a strict dress code policy in the office to maintain dress discipline. If girls choose to wear such attire against the policy, they should be terminated immediately and advised to wear it outside office premises.
In my office, as per the dress code policy, no female candidate is allowed to wear jeans or capris from Monday to Friday. On Saturday, they are permitted to wear decent casual attire with a sporty appearance.
If Ravi Shankar is currently in a western country and is displeased with the dress code policy based on our tradition, then no comments from me.

Hi,
Please find attached a sample dress code that can help address your question regarding girls wearing miniskirts or short skirts in the office. It is important to develop guidelines or procedures on dressing at your office.

Dear Ravi,
Thanks for your active participation. Well, I don't have any wrong opinion about girls wearing short skirts. My query was whether it's professional or not. It's really a big mistake if we terminate an employee based on her dressing. The best approach is counseling or following up with the company's dress code. Sending a letter to her parents is the height of stupidity. Please never think of complaining about a girl to her parents.
Thank you.

The discussions in this thread clearly illustrate the futility of posing questions without giving enough details about the scenario. This is an international forum, and what holds good for Western countries may not be true for Eastern countries. What's acceptable in a liberal society may be unacceptable in a society following strict codes.
For example, in a manufacturing company that I worked for, a female technician would come to work in mini-skirts (like the tennis players wear), and one could see the underwear when she bent to pick up anything from the floor. Such types of dresses were very popular those days.
Have a lovely day.
