Intelligent Office: Stop Enforcing Sexist Dress Codes
To stop imposing sexist dress code policies on staff.
Why is this important?
This is important because it is an outdated and ignorant approach to modern day work life.
I left my role within a very large law firm as I was unable to continue working for a company who said that I cannot be taken seriously and would never have a successful career if I did not wear makeup or wear a specific nail colour.
This archaic approach made me feel very uncomfortable and disheartened that as a woman, my looks were considered far more important and influential than my abilities to fulfill a role.
Dress length, make-up, nail colours, heels are all things that don't define your ability to do a job, so they should not be made part of a company policy. I'd love Intelligent Office to take a stand on this and show the way for other companies on these sexist policies
