NOTICE
At Kenyon-Barnett we know how important the first impression is. We therefore ask
our employees to wear formal clothing so that our clients and any visitors to our
offic es will see for themselves the quality of our company.
We ask employees, both men and women, to wear either suits or pants with a
jacket. Women may, of course, wear skirts. Jeans should not be worn. White or
blue shirts for men and a tie are preferable, although other colors may be worn, if
they are not too bright. Dark leather shoes should be worn rather than sports
6 minutes shoes.
Friday is “Wear What You Like Day”. Employees may wear what they like, within
whole class reason!
