Elevate Professionalism: Guidelines for Appearance at CSS
At CSS, our dress code is more than a set of guidelines—it’s a reflection of our shared values, our commitment to excellence, and the respect we show for ourselves, our clients, and our colleagues. The way we present ourselves each day sends a powerful message: we are focused, prepared, and confident—because when we look good, we also feel good.
To maintain a professional and respectful workplace environment, employees are expected to be neat, clean, and well-groomed in their appearance, including facial hair, clothing, and personal hygiene. Clothing should be clean and appropriate for the office. Strong body odors or fragrances should be avoided, and proper oral hygiene is essential, especially for those who smoke. Shoes must be worn at all times, and employees whose roles involve client or public interaction may be required to dress beyond standard business casual. When in doubt, consult Human Resources for guidance on appropriate attire.
