Are your staff letting themselves – and your company – down with their appearance? Image consultant Tracey de Kock can help improve morale and performance with practical advice on dress code and business etiquette.
“As much as we may want to deny it, you only have seven seconds to make an impression and how you look is a huge factor,” says Tracey de Kock of The South African Image Company KZN. “By setting a simple dress code and improving your staff’s knowledge of personal grooming, you will see an improvement in both attitude and results. It’s a matter of confidence.”
As a qualified image consultant, Tracey is able to tailor-make a programme for your company, including industry-appropriate dress, hygiene, how to interact with colleagues and customers, and other essential elements of business etiquette.
Over the past five years, Tracey has worked with corporates including Grindrod Bank, The Unlimited World and Quattro Finance. “Tracey’s delivery was professional, she gave fantastic advice and we just loved the time we had with her,” says The Unlimited Worldz. “We will definitely get her back again to address the rest of our team.”
Where necessary, Tracey is also able to establish a uniform for your staff, using simple wardrobe combinations that are easy to maintain. Practical advice applies to the office and beyond, and is sure to give your team a boost.
Durban is known as a casual city, but that shouldn’t always apply to the work wardrobe. What is business casual? Certainly not a t-shirt, shorts and slops! Establishing a standard of dress in your company will set the tone for all interactions, helping maintain a sense of professionalism and serving as a reminder that your staff are, in fact, there to work.
“What message are you sending out with the way you dress,” asks Tracey. “It’s an important question and one that deserves managements’ attention. Your staff should always be appropriately dressed to reflect respect for yourself, your colleagues and your clients. I can help you put this into practice.”
