43 páginas de dress code ?

Um tipo tem de se levantar 2 horas mais cedo, para colocar ticks na check list e ver se não falhou nada antes de sair à rua ??

Em minha opinião, em lugar de adoptarem um dress code que se presume que os clientes valorizam, seria mais inteligente fazerem uma sondagem junto dos clientes (actuais e potenciais) para saberem qual a imagem que eles realmente valorizam.

Swiss banking giant UBS has issued its staff with a 44-page dress code, covering everything from the colour and size of suits to dietary tips and the length of toenails.

Staff are also advised on appropriate underwear and hair dyes.

The code only applies to client-facing staff, and UBS said it had been "misunderstood".

Reportedly the brainchild of top executives, the code is part of UBS's attempts to improve its image.

The bank was hit hard during the financial crisis, and was bailed out to the tune of 6bn Swiss francs ($6.2bn; £4.1bn; 4.9bn euros) in 2008 after losing about 21bn francs, more than any other Swiss bank.

It has also been embroiled in a long-running dispute with US tax authorities over secret bank accounts for US citizens.

'Too tight'

Little, however, will have prepared staff for the level of scrutiny their attire will soon attract.

The dress code advises that "women should not wear shoes that are too tight-fitting as there is nothing worse than a strained smile".

Shirts must not be "too tight", while underwear "must not be visible against clothing or spill out of clothing".

The code also advises against eating garlic and onions.

UNIVERSAL PICTURES/Ronald Grant/Everett CollectionIn a Big Brother-style, 43 page dress code for its bank employees, UBS has a recommendation for everything from the length of employees’ socks (at least knee high, to avoid embarrassing peeks of skin from the trouser leg) to what they eat (no garlic).

Here are a few additional fun highlights, courtesy of the UBS dress code and Google Translate, as Deal Journal’s high-school level French is a lot rusty.

“The nicky [kerchief] should always be folded and tied with a bow oriented, not below, but as far as possible, top left. Style “boy scout” (nicky bellows on the neck) be rejected in all cases”

“Never wear shoes that are too small for you: There’s nothing worse than a twisted smile.”

“In interviews with customers or other third parties, it is essential you remove your glasses so that eye contact can established. Sunglasses should not be worn on the head.”

The ideal time to wear perfume is directly after taking a hot shower when your pores are still open.

You will extend the life of your stockings and your tights if your toe nails are well-trimmed and filed.

Each time you remove your suit, untie your tie and hang or wrap it. Give your tie

Female staff at Swiss bank UBS have been told to wear flesh-coloured underwear and loose fitting skirts in a bid to boost the company's conservative image.

Male bankers have also been banned from wearing 'loud' socks and have to wear ties with patterns that 'match the bone structure of their face'.

Female employees are also told that wearing make-up gives the impression of competence, and warns of the dangers of wearing too-tight underwear and shoes.

The strict 40-page dress code has been sent to the bank's staff in Switzerland in a pilot programme that may expand world wide.

Employees of both sexes are also urged to avoid smelling of strong perfume, garlic, onion or cigarette smoke.

The bank is trying to rebuild its image after receiving a multi-billion dollar bailout of $69 billion in the wake of the global financial crisis.

Email Comments 315 It took no fewer than 43 pages for the human resources department at the Swiss bank UBS AG to establish what bank personnel should consider acceptable corporate attire.

The Wall Street Journal has the goods on the clothing guidelines for the bank that was embroiled in a nasty tax evasion scandal that lead to UBS paying the U.S. government $780 million in fines.

The UBS look book commands that employees wear suits of dark grey, black or navy blue, since these colors "symbolize competence, formalism and sobriety."

Among the "dos" and "don'ts" for women: "Make sure to touch up hair regrowth regularly if you color your hair." Men are commanded to, "Schedule barber appointments every four weeks to maintain your haircut shape."

Neither sex is allowed to "allow their underwear to appear," wear short-sleeved shirts or, strangely, cuff links.

You can see the entire brochure here (courtesy of John Carney at CNBC's NetNet, who's pulled a French-language page that walks you through how to properly tie a proper tie.)

Obviamente a minha opinião no assunto é que se a UBS acha que as pessoas não se vestem convenientemente para as funções que ocupam, não as deveriam ter em posições comerciais com contacto com os clientes. E se isso é um problema, existem cursos de etiqueta apropriados para corrigir "detalhes" que possam ter falhado.
