The Bonadio Group has announced a new dress-code policy that the Rochester–based accounting firm is calling “Dress for Your Day” and referring to as an “employee benefit.”

The start of the new dress-code policy coincided with the summer of 2018, but it will serve as the new employee policy for workplace wear at all of the Bonadio Group’s offices year-round. Locally, the company operates an office at 432 N. Franklin St. in Syracuse.

“Accounting is truly a dynamic industry — we are always looking for ways to work smarter by combining comfort and collaboration,” Thomas Bonadio, CEO of the Bonadio Group, said in a release. “Dress for Your Day is essentially a ‘Jeans Friday’ look extended Monday through Thursday. We want our employees to look professional, but in the context of their day.”

The company noted that this type of dress code is “gaining popularity in their industry,” as leaders recognize the importance of “empowering” employees to make decisions on everyday dress “according to their role in the firm and outside appointments.”

The Bonadio Group suggested employees take a “common-sense” approach and keep some pieces of dressier clothing in or near their office so they are ready should there be a “scheduling surprise” in their day.
