Dress Code - Does a dual dress code policy exist in the market?

Does a dual dress code policy exist in the market? Having one code for normal business hours and another for night shifts, I request your comments and thoughts as well.

In my view, policies cannot be dual; it should be one for all in the organization irrespective of the shifts.

Hi Sandeep, Can you elaborate on the following points:

1. Which industry do you serve? (Is it manufacturing, IT, BPO, hospitality, etc.)
2. The core function of your firm.
3. How many shifts do you work in? You mentioned normal and night shifts. Can you provide the shift timings?
4. Workforce data - male/female ratio in each shift.
5. What is the current dress policy for your firm?

Additionally, why do you think there should or should not be a dual dress policy? What is the intention behind asking this question? Providing a brief overview of the above questions would help us give you proper answers. All the best.

Ankita,

Appreciate your quick response. We are in the IT industry and provide 24/7 customer support in 3 shifts. When I say night shift, it means from 7 PM to 7 AM. There will be no females working in that shift. We have a general code which includes no round necks, no open-toed shoes, and no faded or shaded jeans, etc.

Thank you.

What is the need for a dual dress code? You can issue ID cards in different colors for the recognition of shift members. Provide them with three color codes and rotate the color codes accordingly. I am not aware of a dual dress code; let others give more suggestions on it.
