Sub: Request your opinion on Casual dress day policy. Dear Senior Manager, I request your Opinion on introduction of casual dress day policy. I personally feel that Casual dress day policy might encourage sloppiness at work. In a recent poll conducted by Levi Strauss and Co, the trend to dress more casually at work reflects larger changes in work patterns. As many firms have introduced work from home policy this trend of casual dress code trend has started. Though it keeps people in ease it might also create a casual attitude and decrease in organizational discipline. This change if reverted back after its implementation would cause a lot of dissatisfaction among employees. Being a senior manager, your

Do you think it would be right for us to take up such a policy, given that our organization s culture is conservative and formal? If yes, why and how often? If no, why? Please let me know at the earliest possible to equip me include the same in next management council meeting. Thanking you in anticipation, Karthik.S
