<br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 1J <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Meg Sawyer, Human Resources and Communications Manager <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: December 13, 2021 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Personnel Policy Update <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Staff is requesting a Personnel Policy update to section 8.10 Professional Appearance. The <br />current policy encourages a “business casual” attire. Staff is requesting a dress code change <br />to “dress for your day.” We believe the change in dress code will improve employee morale <br />and job satisfaction, which in turn will increase productivity. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The City of Lino Lakes Dress for Your Day policy will allow for non-uniformed employees <br />to use their best judgment when deciding what to wear to work every day, with some basic <br />guidelines. The idea is that each employee should consider what their workday looks like and <br />dress accordingly. <br /> <br />For example, employees are allowed to wear casual clothing on workdays when they do not <br />have council meetings, work sessions, conferences, or meetings with residents or other <br />outside third parties. Employees are still expected to wear clothing appropriate for an office <br />environment, and traditional business attire is always acceptable. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff is recommending approval of Personnel Policy modification of section 8.10 - <br />Professional Appearance. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Personnel Policy 8.10 - Professional Appearance
