Perhaps it is the time of year, but recent blog posts have not generated many comments. Last month I suggested a topic about students and social media. I know that several managers have had some challenging issues arise with social media affecting student workers on the job. I was surprised that I got little response. Perhaps this I will submit this topic later in the year.
Now that summer weather is finally upon us, some departments may experience issues regarding appropriate attire in the workplace. Warm weather may bring out short shorts, tank tops, and flip flops. Does your department allow this sort of attire at work? Have you established dress standards for your student employees? If so, are these written? How are these communicated to student workers? Have you been required to have any difficult conversations with student employees about appropriate work attire? How did this turn out?
Have you had other issues with students and inappropriate work attire?
