A boost. Apart from the fact you should still expect certain minimum standards, e.g. in respect of personal hygiene, appropriate workplace attire and professionalism, research shows that a reasonable dress code can boost employee productivity and wellbeing. So, although you should still maintain a clear dress code, you may wish to review and perhaps relax your existing rules.
