The employees at Avondale Industries' IT department in Brisbane, Australia, have adopted a casual dress code in their office, which mostly means they wear shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. This has caused a conflict, however, when an IT employee needs to work on a computer that is located on the production line. The production supervisors told the IT department employees that it is company policy that they wear long trousers, long-sleeve shirts that are tucked in, and closed-toe shoes if they come on the shop floor. The IT employees responded that the computers on the production line can just not be fixed, then, and the issue was elevated to the HR department. The IT department supervisor and the shift production supervisors were called to the HR office to try to resolve the situation. Which of the following explanations will best explain to the IT supervisor why he should support and enforce the dress code when his people are on the shop floor?

 

  • The dress code was established for the protection of employees who work around dangerous equipment.
  • The dress code was established many years ago, and all employees should comply so there is consistency in following the policy.
  • Following the dress code will demonstrate to the employees on the shop floor that the IT employees respect and value their work.
  • The IT supervisor needs to support production's dress code requirements to avoid awkwardness when his employees are on the shop floor
