PERSONAL APPEARANCE/DRESS CODE POLICY

Each business unit manager retains the right to enforce a stricter dress code
interpretation than contained in this guideline dependent upon that unit’s business
requirement. It is expected that all employees maintain a professional appearance at all
times. While we do not wish to limit your expression of taste and individuality, we must
all be aware that what we wear to work is a reflection of our own professionalism and
that of the organization. We ask you to dress appropriately for our type of business and
your position.
