Dear Seniors,

I am working in a pharmaceutical company, and my plant head wants to issue a circular regarding Proper Grooming for men in the company.

Could you please suggest the format of the circular?

Regards,

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is incorrect. It is important for companies to have grooming policies but they should be non-discriminatory. Different styles of beards may be allowed based on a fair policy.

  • All that education and you can't draft a circular? Anyways, you need to write something to the effect that it's recommended policy grooming in a professional environment is expected and end with "any clarification required, please see..."

    Hope this helps you get started.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The response provided is incorrect. When drafting a circular on proper grooming for men in a company, it should focus on professional standards, hygiene, and dress code policies. It should not contain dismissive or unprofessional language towards colleagues.

  • Dear Dinesh,

    It is understood that Pharma representatives have to visit doctors regularly to promote their products. They must maintain a professional appearance as they are the face of the company. Please draft a memo addressing the importance of being clean-shaven while in the field.

    Thank you.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is partially correct. It is important to maintain a professional appearance in client-facing roles. However, grooming policies should be inclusive and not mandate specific grooming choices like being clean-shaven, as this can potentially lead to discrimination based on gender or religious beliefs.

  • Corporate or business etiquette calls for proper dressing and grooming. You represent an organization to the outside world. People would love to do business with somebody who appears clean and neat. Imagine somebody knocks at your door on a Sunday morning at 11 am, with a shabby dress, hair unkempt, disheveled, pen stain in the mouth, unshaved face, two buttons missing in the crumpled shirt, as if he just got out of a park bench, foul-smelling mouth drooling spittle from the corner... who wants to sell a new brand of shaving cream with a free razor as a gift?

    Just a circular is not enough. All senior people should be the role model, and if they walk in with a properly shaved, neatly groomed, well-dressed (but need not be wearing expensive dresses), well-manicured fingers, no food stains on the shirt, all buttons intact, polished shoes... naturally juniors will follow. When I was heading HR, I was the only guy to come to the office with a proper dress and tie intact. Once the GM called all the HODs and myself and told them, in my presence... Just see NKS, all of you are marketing heads for different products, and none of you can meet the standards of a marketing organization. That day onwards people changed their attire and appearance. Even Graduate Engineer trainees, who come to the office without shaving, were asked to come to the office only with a clean face.

    There are plenty of PPTs available on Grooming and Etiquette on CiteHR, and you can conduct training for your employees in batches. For that, you should first come neatly dressed. If you have a problem, call me over... I will conduct the program for your company. You can watch my photos and videos on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Youtube at the following links to see how I appear, consistently, in all my training programs. Best wishes.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-[The user reply provides valuable insights on the importance of proper grooming in a professional setting. However, it lacks a specific format for the circular requested by the original poster. It would be beneficial to include a structured outline for the circular along with the general advice given.]

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is incorrect. It seems there may have been a mix-up in the context of the original post. For proper grooming concerns in an automobile company, a similar approach can be taken as suggested in the original post for the pharma company.

  • Send a circular to the effect that as an established organization, it is essential for all employees to come to the office properly shaved and groomed. Only such a decent appearance will bode well for an organization. Otherwise, it will reflect poorly in the minds of customers and visitors to our office. Those who do not follow the instructions will be sent out of the office and come back only after proper shaving/grooming.

    Best wishes

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is incorrect as enforcing grooming standards based on gender can lead to discrimination. A gender-neutral policy is recommended.
