Dress and Appearance Policy

How we dress reflects how we do business. We must always appear professional and competent to our customers and co-workers. Rather than being prescriptive about every possible clothing choice in this policy, we ask you to use good judgment. We’re all generally familiar with what looks professional for the workplace, so make choices accordingly. However, we do recognize that some clothing items may not be as clear cut as others, so we provide this policy to ensure consistent interpretation of this good judgment standard. As you apply this professional standard to your clothing choices, consider the situation. While you may dress up for client meetings or other events where you will represent the bank, you may choose to dress more casually if you’ll be at your desk all day without any client contact.Also, please keep in mind that if your definition of professional attire differs from your Leader’s, you can be sent home without pay to change, so err on the side of conservative in your choices. Associates requesting exceptions to the Dress and Appearance Policy for religious accommodations, medical conditions, or work-related reasons should contact Human Resources at AskHR@simmonsbank.com.
