What are
your dress code policies for administrative,
Our admin staff dress code includes dress slacks, shirts and ties forgentlemen and skirts/dress pants with hose and close-toed dress shoes forwomen. This policy is in effect from Labor Day through Memorial Day. In the summer our dress code is more relaxed because it is so hot here. Gentlemen can wear polo style shirts and women are not required to wear hose and open toe shoes are fine. Our front of house staff is required to wear black or navy dress pants or long skirts, with white or cream blouses/dress shirts. They are also required to wear appropriate dark shoes. Each of our ushers also wears an apron for ticket stubs that has a medium sized Maglite in one of the pockets so that they can assist patrons to their seats. Our Convention Center staff requires the same, but without the aprons. In fact, they wear a vest to complement the uniform. Back of house must wear pants (no shorts), sleeved shirts, belts, and close-toed shoes or boots.
We have a department dress and grooming code, but because of the different types of jobs and program areas within the department, dress and appearance can be different, depending on the type of job and work that is required. Even so, a basic professional standard is maintained in all program areas at all times. These guidelines are designed to allow for the flexibility needed to accomplish this professional standard in appearance. Employees should consider each day’s activities when determining what to wear. Employees should also consider their level of customer and public contact and the types of meetings they are scheduled to attend in determining the type of attire that is appropriate.
Our administrative dress code is business attire (coat and tie for the men and corresponding attire for ladies). We do business casual on Fridays but jeans, sweatshirts, etc. are not allowed. All of our engineers, housekeeping, and food service personnel are in uniforms provided by us. The policy is shirts buttoned, shirttails tucked in and the only head covering allowed other than for the chef is a baseball hat with our logo provided by us. Obviously, we make exceptions when we have outside work in really dirty conditions or inclement weather.
Administrative dress code is business attire without casual Fridays. Front and back of the house wear royal blue polo shirts with logos and navy slacks. All center employees and service provider employees are required to wear a photo I.D. for security purposes.
We recognize that many organizations are adopting more casual attire for their offices. In fact, the South Florida market, known for its beautiful beaches and sunny skies, is perhaps more casual than most. We believe in being an exception to that relaxed, casual look. Our administrative staff adheres to a very professional and upscale standard. Ties and jackets for the men and business attire for the women. Casual Fridays? Don’t have ‘em. Our only consolations are suits cut from the lighter fabrics for summertime. Our General Manager Mark Gatley, with his tailored suits and trademark suspenders, sets the bar pretty high. The rest of our employees wear uniformed golf shirts and slacks, color-coded by departments. This serves both security and customer service issues. If you are not in uniform we may ask, “Can I help you?”
We expect our administrative and front of house managers to dress in a professional manner that would be described as “business casual.” I don't require our male event managers to always wear a tie but I do expect them to have one handy in their office in case of an unexpected site inspection. The back of house managers can be a bit more casual unless we are attending a function either on or off site. All of our event, building and parking staff are uniformed. I learned many years ago from one of my mentors, the very dapper Jack Present, who was the booking manager at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, that you should always look professional when you are asked to represent your facility.
Our dress code for the administrative staff is business attire. We do have occasions where we will have casual days if the building is empty. The rest of our staff is in uniform of some type. Security is grey pants with blazers, operations and maintenance is logo golf-type shirts with blue khaki pants.
