[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HR Bitch here: Is there HR who could do it for him? That's really something that falls under our purview. I've absolutely had to tell people to change their clothes, go home to change immediately, or not to wear something in the future, etc.

7:15 made a good point, if you ARE going to talk to him - tell him you think he's doing a great job and you're invested in his success, which is WHY you would like to help. Ask if he's receptive to that. Then, if he says yes, tell him you think he's not being taken as seriously as his ideas and contributions deserve due to his appearance, and drop the tidbit that Macy's always has a sale going on, and they have free personal shoppers for men. Then ... stop talking about it. Don't tell him to shave, or stop wearing a baseball hat - no need to get specific. Unless he's got serious issues like Aspergers, he'll get it.[/quote]

HRB, not every workplace issue falls under your "purview."  This is a mentoring issue, not an issue in which he needs to be TOLD to dress differently and sent home hanging his head in shame.  You really have some mission creep going. Stand down.[/quote]
