In this impromptu episode of Law Lenz, host Sanam dives into the unexpected world of workplace attire, with a focus on the controversial topic of wearing shorts. Inspired by a Human Resources Director New Zealand article, we explore the findings of a survey conducted by Frog Recruitment, where 34% of corporate office workers expressed their willingness to wear shorts to work anytime.

In this episode, Sanam shares personal insights and anecdotes, reflecting on the evolving landscape of workplace dress codes. She navigates through the nuances of setting clear and practical policies. With practical tips for managers on how to approach these situations proactively, we explore the delicate balance between maintaining professionalism and adapting to the changing norms in corporate culture.

Tune in for a light-hearted yet insightful exploration of the complexities of workplace dress code policies, especially in a post-remote work era.
