Corporate America (tomorrow the world?) is going casual. So says a survey commissioned by the society for human resource management and The Levi Strauss company. www.levi.com/
Ninety percent of more than 500 human resource managers polled nationwide said their companies let employees wear casual clothes to work, regularly or on special occasions. That's an increase of 27 percent in the past three years alone.
Human resource managers find that a casual dress policy improves employee morale at virtually no cost to corporations and industries.
The society for human resource management advises employers who are looking for a cost-free employee "perk" to consider a casual dress policy.
Casual dress may offer several distinct advantages to employers. Eighty two percent of employees perceive it as an added employee benefit. Nearly three quarters of those surveyed said their employees are able to save money on their clothing budgets.
For all of those good reasons, casual dress policies. Are quickly becoming the rule rather than the exception, according to the society for human resource management. http://www.shrm.org/

The following is an article taken from Choices Magazine after a visit to The High Street Central Mystery Shopping Club.
"Wanted: Shopaholic nosey parker with excellent observational skills, a good ear and flexible attitude to part-time work. Anyone can apply. Work available in all areas. Must be prepared to eat free meals, enjoy shopping discounts and visit pubs - and be paid for it."
Believe it or not, the above job advertisement is not as far fetched as it sounds. If you love shopping, you'll be pleased to hear that it's possible to shop for a living. In fact, it's a multi-million pound industry for market research companies who employ "mystery shoppers" to shop up and down the country - all in the name of customer service and research.
There are a number of mystery shopping companies who organise whole armies of professional shoppers on behalf of retailers, pubs, restaurants, banks and other service industries. Their mission? To mingle in, look inconspicuous and file a report on anything from customer service to cleanliness in the restrooms.
If you visit one or two pubs in a night, you'll get your food and drink paid for, travel expenses and you'll be paid anything from £6.00 or £7.00 ($12) up for each visit.
But there is one problem with mystery shopping: truly dedicated shoppers never switch off from their work. You'll find yourself compulsively evaluating service and checking ceilings for cobwebs even when you're not on duty. It eventually becomes a part of your life.
