Severe Weather Policy

With the spring storm season around the corner, it is a good time for employers to implement or revise existing policies that address the inclement weather policy.

With the summer months fast approaching, managers and supervisors are cringing in the anticipation of implementing and enforcing a summer dress code. And for good reason. Summer is the time of year when many people are more relaxed. People enjoy long weekends, vacations, and lazy days. During the hot summer days, employees often prefer to wear the hottest trends, (i.e., crop tops, halter-tops, maxi dresses, graphic T-shirts), brighter colors, lighter-fabric, and even flip-flops – at work.

Yesterday, April 23, 2015, marked the 22nd anniversary for the national “Take Our Children to Work Day”. Founded in 1993 by Gail Steinem and The Ms. Foundation for Women, this clever non-profit educational program encourages individuals the opportunity to invite their sons/daughters, and relatives to work for one day to shadow their parents. In doing so, kids learn valuable (yet subtle) lifelong lessons on the importance of team work, communication, and (hopefully) by spending a day in the life of a working adult, they develop a new profound respect and appreciation of their parents’ work!
