At work , many organizations have a dress code . In most cases , it has a bearing on the type of work like a loose overall for a mechanic , white dress for a nurse , black coat for an attorney or a smart suit for a business professional . Leaders and managers need to understand the purpose and meaning for a dress code as it relates to the type of work and the environment of the work place . In corporate settings , this is stressed during induction training to ensure conformity and compliance .
I remember one of our trainer who was briefing us on the Hygiene and Sanitation in cook houses of military barracks when we were undergoing basic training on commissioning to the Army . He was explaining why a cook should wear a white cap of cylindrical design , fitted in such a way that the sweat from his head does not trickle down and fall on the dishes in making when he bends his head . We got the general idea.
What makes me remember this class even after 45 years now is the comment the trainer made after his explanation . He told us , young officers , that when we go to units , we must ensure that cooks follow this rule strictly . To ensure the compliance and ” buy in ” from the cook , we must tell the cook that the design of the cap is not intended to make him look like a COOK !! and it has a purpose as explained earlier . A great way to ensure the lesson sinks in properly.
