RiverBay realizes
the importance of having our employees dressed appropriately. We closely monitor
the housing company's dress code, which provides that the clothing worn is
conducive to a professional business environment. All administrative personnel,
which includes Field Supervisors, wear dress attire that includes, for men: a
dress shirt and tie with coordinated pants or suit; for women: a dress (of
appropriate length), business suit, coordinated skirt (of appropriate length)
and blouse, or coordinated slack suit. The uniform employees, which also applies
to various supervisors and administrative staff who are assigned uniforms, wear
various colored uniforms, based upon their respective department. The
departments that wear uniforms, along with their designated colors, are as
follows:
| DEPARTMENT | UNIFORM COLOR |
| Buildings | Blue |
| Commercial Leasing | Blue |
| Construction | Brown |
| Grounds | Green |
| Maintenance | Brown |
| Power Plant | Grey |
| Public Safety | Navy |
| Restorations | Dark Blue |
| Parking Attendants | Dark Blue pants, light blue shirt |
| Lobby Attendants | Gray pants, blue blazer |
| Inspectors and Field Supervisors | Black pants, wine shirts |
The benefit of making all employees abide by a dress code is that it makes it
easy to identify individuals as they move about the property to conduct the
business of the Corporation; it also helps to foster a greater level of
responsibility, in that employees understand that while residents may not know a
particular name, they can note the color of the uniform and give information
regarding place and time, making it easier for supervisors to pinpoint who an
individual in question might be. In addition, all RiverBay supervisory staff
must carry their picture I.D.s, at all times, in a conspicuous fashion. We
believe these measures will go along way in increasing the cooperators'
knowledge of the management operation, while instilling a greater sense of
accountability on our staff as well.
