Well, maybe not die, but put up a big battle. My big hill is dress codes: I think every business needs one. People who insist that dress codes are for stuffy people and they hire people who “know how to dress” drive me nuts.
Just spell it out. Dress codes don’t mean suits and ties. They can also mean no obscene messages on t-shirts and everyone must keep the three Bs covered. (Boobs, butts, and bellies.)
Would I fight over this? You bet. Would I drop a client because they refused to implement a dress code. No. Would I laugh hysterically when they come to me and say, “Jane just showed up with the F word plastered across her chest. Do something.”?
Yes, yes, I would. Because I told you something like this would happen.
I asked HR people (and others) what their HR hills were and if you’re wondering what your HR department is going to focus on this year, this list is a good place to start.
