I’m in college and for my english class, I have to write a sample memo. I chose to write mine about a dress code update… is this all that should be included in the memo?
“TO: Greentown Graphics Employees (including interns)
FROM: Andrew Stratton, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Summer Dress Code Update
DATE: May 2, 2008
In addition to the office’s usual dress code, employees will have new business-casual choices available for the summer.
The dress code update will begin May 5, 2008 and end August 22, 2008.
The summer’s business-casual dress code includes:
PANTS: Slacks similar to Dockers, dressy capris or cropped pants
SKIRTS: Casual dresses with thick straps or t-shirt style sleeves, solid colored skirts that split at or below the knee
SHIRTS, TOPS, BLOUSES: Pressed polo shirts, short-sleeved button-up shirts, short- sleeved suit jackets
FOOTWEAR: Clogs, flats, dressy heels, leather deck-type shoes, conservative sandals
Tennis shoes, athletic attire, collar-less T-shirts, shorts, flip-flops and anything denim is unacceptable.
Depending on the day’s activities, employees should dress accordingly. Greentown Graphics expects every employee to use good judgment in order to uphold the company’s outstanding reputation in the community, even during the hot summer months.”
The formatting got a little screwed up, sorry. Is there anything I could improve?

The memo / information section should all be in one area.
The actual dress code should be sent as an attachement or seperate page, to be printed and posted as needed.
Rewrote it a bit -It is in essence all your words just reformatted – hope it works for you
It ‘s a little hard in that I don’t really know all the in’s and out’s or the why’s or why not’s for your company – Hope you don’t mind
I worked in the Fashion/Garment Industry 35 years.
I had to revise and write many dress codes for our Companies as time fashion and temp.’s changed.
One of my quotes, that used to drive some of my staff crazy was, ” Even though we are in ”the industry”, we are professionals first. We are never victims”.
There are some things out there that some people should never wear, let alone the work place.
I think it looks fine. I would add a line at the end stating:
“Please contact me with any questions regarding the summer dress code”
It is important to give employees an avenue if they have any questions about a policy change.
Good Luck!
