We live in a very visual world where first impressions are crucial. Establishing a sense of professionalism is key to building business relationships. Your "style" in the workplace is the most effective communicational tool that speaks to the business world without saying a word.

Studies show that 55% of all communication is how you look. 38% is through body language and only 7% through spoken words.

• Are you projecting the right image?
• What do your clothes say about you?
• Are you sending out the right signals?

Creating a positive professional image is the first step to "winning new business", with the ability to successfully communicate your corporate image and what your business stands for, gives you the competitive edge. Image is a powerful communicator.

How important is Dress code in the workplace?

• Do you buy clothes to wear specifically for work? Yes.
• Do you think Offices should have a dress code? I feel there should be a dress code as it shows professionalism from the perception of visitors and Clients.
• In your view what is acceptable / unacceptable work attire in offices? Acceptable is smart casual, no jeans or tracksuit bottoms or trainers!
• Do you think what you wear to the office affects how you work? I do think it affects how you work. From experience if you go in casual, your approach to how you do things and manage your time changes.

Alison - HR Manager

Women are perceived strongly according to how they present themselves. Stamp yourself as too 'girly' and you may not be seen as a Leader or a Manager in the Workplace"
