Dressing for the Workplace
“Can you judge a book by its cover?”
Summer is approaching and our chances of seeing people dressed as if they were at a cocktail party on the beach are increasing! 🙂
How should we dress for the workplace?
First, our attire is important because it affects how people perceive us!
Dressing professionally demonstrates self-confidence and respect for the people we meet and we work with.
The way we dress is also important because it helps us in difficult situations and because we can better represent the company we work for.
Last, but not least, our clothing affects our credibility and how people perceive our job performance!
“L’abito fa il monaco?”
L’estate si avvicina e non è raro vedere uomini e donne vestiti sul posto di lavoro come se fossero ad un cocktail sulla spiaggia! 🙂
Come bisogna vestirsi al lavoro?
Innanzitutto, il modo in cui ci vestiamo è importante perché influenza la percezione che gli altri hanno di noi!
Vestirsi in maniera professionale denota auto-stima e rispetto per le persone che incontriamo e con cui lavoriamo.
La maniera di vestire è anche importante perché ci aiuta nelle situazioni ostili e perché ci permette di meglio rappresentare l’azienda per cui lavoriamo.
Infine, ma non meno importante, il nostro abbigliamento influisce sulla nostra credibilità e su come gli altri percepiscono il nostro modo di lavorare!
