\nToday, I want to discuss the issue of company attire with everyone.
\nPh\u00f2ng nh\u00e2n s\u1ef1 c\u00f3 th\u1ec3 cho t\u00f4i bi\u1ebft v\u1ec1 c\u00e1c quy \u0111\u1ecbnh hi\u1ec7n t\u1ea1i v\u1ec1 trang ph\u1ee5c c\u1ee7a c\u00f4ng ty kh\u00f4ng \u1ea1?<\/span>
\nCan HR tell me about the current company dress code regulations?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Qu\u00fd<\/td>\nV\u00e2ng, th\u01b0a anh, hi\u1ec7n t\u1ea1i c\u00f4ng ty ch\u1ec9 m\u1edbi c\u00f3 c\u00e1c quy \u0111\u1ecbnh \u0111\u01a1n gi\u1ea3n v\u1ec1 trang ph\u1ee5c nh\u01b0 l\u00e0 ph\u1ea3i m\u1eb7c trang ph\u1ee5c l\u1ecbch s\u1ef1, \u0111\u1ea7u t\u00f3c g\u1ecdn g\u00e0ng, \u0111i gi\u00e0y ho\u1eb7c d\u00e9p c\u00f3 quai h\u1eadu th\u00f4i \u1ea1.<\/span>
\nYes, sir. Currently, the company only has simple regulations regarding attire, such as wearing polite clothing, keeping hair neat, and wearing shoes or sandals with back straps.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. Roberts<\/td>\nC\u1ea3m \u01a1n anh Qu\u00fd.<\/span>
\nThank you, Qu\u00fd.
\nTrong qu\u00e1 tr\u00ecnh l\u00e0m vi\u1ec7c 2 th\u00e1ng v\u1eeba qua, t\u00f4i nh\u1eadn th\u1ea5y m\u1ed9t s\u1ed1 \u0111i\u1ec3m v\u01b0\u1edbng m\u1eafc trong v\u1ea5n \u0111\u1ec1 trang ph\u1ee5c.<\/span>
\nDuring the past 2 months working here, I noticed some issues regarding attire.
\nCh\u1eb3ng h\u1ea1n nh\u01b0 \u0111\u1ed1i v\u1edbi b\u1ed9 ph\u1eadn IT, m\u1eb7c d\u00f9 kh\u00f4ng c\u1ea7n ph\u1ea3i ti\u1ebfp x\u00fac v\u1edbi kh\u00e1ch h\u00e0ng nh\u01b0ng c\u00e1c b\u1ea1n \u1ea5y v\u1eabn ph\u1ea3i m\u1eb7c \u00e1o s\u01a1 mi, qu\u1ea7n \u00e2u \u0111\u1ebfn c\u00f4ng ty.<\/span>
\nFor example, for the IT department, although they don’t need to interact with customers, they still have to wear dress shirts and trousers to the office.
\nV\u1edbi trang ph\u1ee5c nh\u01b0 th\u1ebf, t\u00f4i ngh\u0129 s\u1ebd \u00edt nhi\u1ec1u \u1ea3nh h\u01b0\u1edfng \u0111\u1ebfn n\u0103ng su\u1ea5t l\u00e0m vi\u1ec7c.<\/span>
\nWith such attire, I think it more or less affects work productivity.
\nNgo\u00e0i ra, \u0111\u1ed1i v\u1edbi b\u1ed9 ph\u1eadn b\u00e1n h\u00e0ng, hi\u1ec7n t\u1ea1i t\u00f4i nh\u1eadn th\u1ea5y c\u00f3 m\u1ed9t s\u1ed1 nh\u00e2n vi\u00ean n\u1eef m\u1eb7c trang ph\u1ee5c qu\u00e1 b\u00f3 s\u00e1t v\u00e0 \u0111\u1ed9 d\u00e0i kh\u00f4ng ph\u00f9 h\u1ee3p.<\/span>
\nAlso, for the sales department, I currently notice some female employees wearing outfits that are too tight or of inappropriate length.
\nKh\u00f4ng bi\u1ebft b\u1ed9 ph\u1eadn nh\u00e2n s\u1ef1 c\u00f3 \u00fd ki\u1ebfn g\u00ec v\u1ec1 hi\u1ec7n tr\u1ea1ng n\u00e0y kh\u00f4ng?<\/span>
\nDoes the HR department have any opinion on this current situation?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Qu\u00fd<\/td>\nV\u00e2ng, \u0111\u00fang nh\u01b0 anh n\u00f3i, li\u00ean quan \u0111\u1ebfn v\u1ea5n \u0111\u1ec1 trang ph\u1ee5c, hi\u1ec7n t\u1ea1i trong quy \u0111\u1ecbnh c\u1ee7a c\u00f4ng ty ch\u01b0a quy \u0111\u1ecbnh c\u1ee5 th\u1ec3 v\u00e0 r\u00f5 r\u00e0ng.<\/span>
\nYes, as you said, regarding the issue of attire, the current company regulations are not specific or clear.
\nV\u00ed d\u1ee5 trang ph\u1ee5c l\u1ecbch s\u1ef1 l\u00e0 g\u00ec n\u00ean v\u1eabn c\u00f2n nhi\u1ec1u nh\u00e2n vi\u00ean ch\u01b0a r\u00f5 v\u1ec1 quy \u0111\u1ecbnh n\u00e0y, d\u1eabn \u0111\u1ebfn vi\u1ec7c l\u1ef1a ch\u1ecdn trang ph\u1ee5c kh\u00f4ng ph\u00f9 h\u1ee3p.<\/span>
\nFor example, it’s not defined what “polite attire” exactly means, so many employees are still unclear about this rule, leading to inappropriate clothing choices.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. Roberts<\/td>\nNh\u01b0 v\u1eady th\u00ec ch\u00fang ta ph\u1ea3i x\u00e2y d\u1ef1ng nh\u1eefng quy \u0111\u1ecbnh c\u1ee5 th\u1ec3 h\u01a1n v\u1ec1 trang ph\u1ee5c \u0111\u1ec3 h\u01b0\u1edbng d\u1eabn l\u1ea1i cho to\u00e0n b\u1ed9 nh\u00e2n vi\u00ean c\u00e0ng s\u1edbm c\u00e0ng t\u1ed1t \u0111\u1ec3 kh\u00f4ng l\u00e0m \u1ea3nh h\u01b0\u1edfng \u0111\u1ebfn n\u0103ng su\u1ea5t c\u0169ng nh\u01b0 l\u00e0 h\u00ecnh \u1ea3nh c\u00f4ng ty.<\/span>
\nIn that case, we must establish more specific regulations on attire to guide all employees as soon as possible so as not to affect productivity as well as the company’s image.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Qu\u00fd<\/td>\nV\u00e2ng, th\u01b0a anh. Theo t\u00f4i, ngo\u00e0i vi\u1ec7c b\u1ed5 sung c\u00e1c quy \u0111\u1ecbnh c\u1ee5 th\u1ec3 v\u1ec1 trang ph\u1ee5c nh\u1eb1m t\u1ea1o s\u1ef1 tho\u1ea3i m\u00e1i trong qu\u00e1 tr\u00ecnh l\u00e0m vi\u1ec7c, t\u00f4i ngh\u0129 ch\u00fang ta c\u00f3 th\u1ec3 linh \u0111\u1ed9ng h\u01a1n trong quy \u0111\u1ecbnh cho ph\u00e9p nh\u00e2n vi\u00ean \u0111\u1ebfn c\u00f4ng ty v\u1edbi trang ph\u1ee5c tho\u1ea3i m\u00e1i nh\u01b0ng v\u1eabn l\u1ecbch s\u1ef1.<\/span>
\nYes, sir. In my opinion, besides adding specific regulations on attire to ensure comfort during work, I think we can be more flexible by allowing employees to come to the office in comfortable yet polite attire.
\nCh\u1eb3ng h\u1ea1n nh\u01b0 qu\u1ea7n jeans v\u00e0 \u00e1o thun v\u00e0o nh\u1eefng ng\u00e0y kh\u00f4ng c\u00f3 l\u1ecbch g\u1eb7p m\u1eb7t kh\u00e1ch h\u00e0ng.<\/span>
\nFor instance, wearing jeans and T-shirts on days without client meetings.
\nTheo t\u00f4i \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c bi\u1ebft th\u00ec hi\u1ec7n nay \u0111\u00e3 c\u00f3 nhi\u1ec1u doanh nghi\u1ec7p, \u0111\u1eb7c bi\u1ec7t l\u00e0 doanh nghi\u1ec7p n\u01b0\u1edbc ngo\u00e0i \u00e1p d\u1ee5ng ch\u00ednh s\u00e1ch n\u00e0y r\u1ed3i \u1ea1.<\/span>
\nAs far as I know, many businesses, especially foreign enterprises, have already applied this policy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nI also agree with your opinion, Qu\u00fd.
\nV\u00ec kh\u00ed h\u1eadu \u1edf Vi\u1ec7t Nam v\u00e0o m\u00f9a h\u00e8 r\u1ea5t oi b\u1ee9c n\u00ean t\u00f4i ngh\u0129 n\u1ebfu ch\u00fang ta \u00e1p d\u1ee5ng quy \u0111\u1ecbnh n\u00e0y th\u00ec kh\u00f4ng ch\u1ec9 t\u1ea1o s\u1ef1 tho\u1ea3i m\u00e1i cho nh\u00e2n vi\u00ean m\u00e0 c\u00f2n ph\u1ea7n n\u00e0o ti\u1ebft ki\u1ec7m \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c chi ph\u00ed nhi\u1ec7t \u0111i\u1ec7n cho c\u00f4ng ty n\u1eefa.<\/span>
\nSince the summer climate in Vietnam is very hot and humid, I think applying this rule will not only create comfort for employees but also partly save electricity costs for the company.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Qu\u00fd<\/td>\nV\u00e2ng, v\u1eady ph\u00f2ng nh\u00e2n s\u1ef1 xin ph\u00e9p nghi\u00ean c\u1ee9u th\u00eam v\u1ec1 c\u1ea3 m\u1eb7t l\u1ee3i m\u1eb7t h\u1ea1i \u0111\u1ed1i v\u1edbi vi\u1ec7c \u00e1p d\u1ee5ng ch\u00ednh s\u00e1ch trang ph\u1ee5c tho\u1ea3i m\u00e1i nh\u01b0ng v\u1eabn l\u1ecbch s\u1ef1 v\u1eeba \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c \u0111\u1ec1 c\u1eadp.<\/span>
\nYes, then the HR department would like to research more about the pros and cons of applying the comfortable but polite dress code policy just mentioned.
