Let's Think of a Few Reasons Why
It Can Be Done |
Dress for Success
-- or Failure!
Is it safe in these days of
employees filing lawsuits against employers for the most trivial of reasons to expect your
employees to dress professionally?
According to our associate editor, Bob
Zagami, you bet. Especially when that employee's dress code could reflect favorably or
unfavorably on your company and its profit potential. |
| This year Carefree of Colorado
celebrates its 30th anniversary so we flew into Denver, drove to nearby Broomfield and met
with Tom Faludy, president and the executive management team. But the story we got wasn't
about Carefree's 30 years, it was about successfully managing a medium sized supplier
company, where innovative product ideas come from. In this RV News exclusive learn
where Tom Faludy gets all those ideas for bringing new products to the market and how
production line workers can mull over the company's profit picture during breaks from
manufacturing awnings. |
