The Professionalism Found in Call Centers

If you’ve ever called into a call center, you may have noticed that the customer service representatives had a certain level of professionalism over the phone. That professionalism isn’t merely limited to the telephone, however. The work life inside the call center itself reflects the pleasant yet business-like approach that representatives are trained to conduct over the telephone.

It’s always nice to walk into your workplace, see people enjoying their work and carrying themselves professionally, representing themselves well with the attire they choose to wear. It’s important to carry a professional atmosphere in a call center, particularly when working with companies that are outsourcing their customer service and are looking for reliable people to represent them. Because of this, it’s critical to follow a reasonable dress code that reflects the attitude of the organizations we're representing.

Most business people agree that one’s appearance reflects the culture of his or her place of work. Therefore, at TeleDirect Call Centers we try to adhere to a more formal dress code. Men likely wear attire that would consist of khakis, Dockers or other formal slacks, long-sleeved button down shirts or neat polos, a belt, dark socks and formal shoes. Employees in higher-up positions typically add a tie to their attire, which brings a sense of glamour to the management style.

Women also are subject to dress codes, with similar standards. Formal pants or trousers, blouses, sweaters, skirts, dresses or cardigans are commonplace in call centers. Footwear might range from shoes or flats to low heel boots. Professional hairstyle and accessories are also typical.

Of course, every call center is different, and the level of rigidity in the dress codes will typically reflect the business’s general attitude as a whole. What’s more important than any type of dress code or formal conduct is creating an efficient and enjoyable workplace that people actually enjoy coming to. This makes it much easier to perform high-quality work.
