[quote=Anonymous]Design professor here and HOO BOY do I feel this down to the policing bodies comment (which I have to be very careful about).

I find that I can give advice 10 times in 10 ways essentially saying the same thing (dress professionally, don't expose too much, read the tone of the firm/room cause it's also bad to wear a navy suit and dress shoes to a fintech startup, dress in a way that people will remember you fondly or not remember you negatively, etc...) and 3/4 of the people will get it but the 1/4 that don't are never going to change and they probably have varying reasons for that.

I would advise you to bring in an outside source to give a professionalism lecture to your new hires (or maybe include all "early career professionals" to broaden the scope). It sometimes seems more serious and less personal when someone else is saying "probably don't show your belly button to clients" as opposed to you saying it, which may seem like a suggestion. If you can't afford that consider putting together a panel with slightly older folks (25-29) to "share stories" about what they did wrong or what backfired.

Love these young people though, but yeah. Sigh. [/quote]
