有人说雇主不应该关注员工穿着，而只应该关注员工的工作表现。同意反对？

这是一道工作类的大作文，讨论的是雇主是不是应该只关注员工的表现而不用关注穿着。审题时候要注意，这道题目中的关键词 （be concerned ）only about 是一种对化的表达，因此建议取反对的立场，并在论证中提出其他理由即可。题目整体难度不高，接下来，月半鸭和大家一起来看具体观点。

首先，不可否认的是，雇员的表现确实非常重要且不容忽视的。这关系到公司和机构是否能够完成目标，以及让客户获得好的产品和服务。比如市场和销售的表现决定了公司能否获得足够的营收和利润，医生的表现决定了病人是否能够得到快速有效的救治，工程师和工人的表现决定了工程是否能够按时合格完成等。

但是，仅仅重视职员表现而忽略着装是不合理的，对于办公室职员来说，着装可能并不重要，但是在特定职业环境中，着装是有着特殊意义和作用的。比如，对于那些在危险场合工作的人（像消防员、电工、高空作业的工人等）来说，雇主必须关注且要求他们正确穿着工作服，因为相应的工作服能够有效地维护他们的生命安全。而对于公关、金融从业者来说，他们的着装则能从视觉层面体现其专业度并提升客户的好感度，因此雇主也需要关注。

There is an assumption that the only thing employers need to consider is employees’ work performance but not their dress; however, I would say this opinion is oversimplified.  

Indeed, the populace tends to venerate quality of work as the only thing that should concern employers, while dismissing the justification of the dress code. For those who think in this way, the only indicator to evaluate employees’ contribution to a company is their work performance; by contrast, how they dress does not seem to make a big change to the turnover of the company.    

Plausible though the above statement seems, the significance of work quality does not necessarily mean that employers should not pay attention to the dress code in the company. It is difficult for me to see the claim in question as anything other than a generalization: which factor deserves more consideration of employers cannot be discussed in the abstract, but studied in context, i.e. related to the discrete job requirement, or the corporate culture of a business. Example regarding this include dangerous jobs such as electricians, whose dress should be of paramount importance and must be strictly in compliance with the safety code, otherwise it would cause threat to life. The same case can be seen in financial sectors, where the way a bank representative looks is sometimes the key to win a client.  

From what has been discussed, it is my conclusion, therefore, whether the dress code deserve its place in a company should be set against context, and therefore work performance is not the only thing that concerns employers.
