It’s a good idea to review NOAH’s dress code guidelines periodically to ensure your appearance always meets or exceeds NOAH’s standards for safety and professionalism. Details can be reviewed anytime in our policy library (HR1357 Dress, Grooming and Hygiene and NOAH Infection Control Manual).
Employees are expected to exercise good judgment in choosing appropriate business attire for their work and for their schedule of the day. In areas requiring uniforms, employees will comply with the guidelines governing their department or division.
- Clinical departments within NOAH may have a designated scrub color that all employees in that department are required to wear.
- NOAH provides scrub/tunic/cover/gown apparel for the departments that are required to wear them for infection control purposes.
Only NOAH-approved logos are to have a dominant appearance on work clothing. While a clothing manufacturer’s emblem is acceptable (small company logo) the display of a complete organization name and/or logo is not acceptable.
Employees are required to wear designated identification (ID) badges while on duty and on campus.
Employees will not wear excessive fragrances or perfumes, which may be offensive to others or cause allergic reactions.
Employees shall remain mindful of the professional nature of the NOAH organization and the patients/customers we serve.
- Offensive tattoos must be concealed from view while on duty.
- Artificial nails are not permitted for direct caregivers.
- Facial hair must be appropriately groomed at all times to facilitate effective use of any required respiratory protection/mask, including annual fit-testing, as required by job position.
- Hats and other head coverings, except those issued as part of a uniform, or are part of the individual’s observance of his or her religion, may not be worn.
- All direct caregivers must wear closed-toed shoes with a closed heel or heel strap.
Department managers have the immediate authority, responsibility and accountability for ensuring the appropriate dress and appearance of their employees.
