Subject: Professionalism In The Office
Good morning, SRD!
It has come to my attention that we are having some issues in regards to appropriate behaviour and attire in the workplace. I understand that I am not always in the office, but please remember that we a rare part of the organisation that actually faces the public—supernatural or otherwise.
First order of business is that we have been getting complaints from clients of our workers staring at their non-human features or reacting fearfully in particular toward supernaturals that do not pass for "human." While I understand that some of these species can be dangerous under some circumstances, it is the job of the Supernatural Relations Department to always maintain a respectful and professional demeanor toward our clients.
If you have legitimate concerns about safety when meeting with a client, please politely make up an excuse to leave the room and contact your supervisor, or subtly make contact with them via the office chat. If there is an immediate threat, The Combat Division will be contacted and the threat will be dealt with.
Supervisors: Please report the incident to me per policy while CC'ing Sir Integra within an hour of it's occurrence.
Our second order of business is office dress code. While you are not required to wear the red or white HELLSING personnel polo shirts, you are required to dress professionally while in the office. Honestly? I don't even care if you wear hawaiian shirts, jeans, or trainers. Wanna dye your hair? Go for it. Tones of piercings? Be my guest. I literally do not even care. But as a reminder, here is the list of clothing that is banned from the office:
T-shirts with non-HELLSING logos.
Clothing with conspicuous stains or tears.
Clothing depicting obscene words, phrases, or images.
Clothing with political phrases or logos. (For everyone's sanity, please just keep it to yourself…)
Tops that expose your midriff or are exceptionally low-cut—this includes un-buttoned button-ups on men, too. Gentlemen, please make sure your button-ups are buttoned.
Leggings and yoga pants
Pyjamas
Short shorts
If one is unsure if an article of clothing meets these standards, please consult either myself or your immediate supervisor. As per HELLSING policy, religious symbols are permitted so long as they aren't infringing on anyone else.
You must wear your HELLSING ID badge so that it is visible at all times while on base. This is not optional. This is not voluntary. This is is a "you don't want to be hauled off the base and/or shot by security" kind of thing. While this does start to feel like an "ordinary" job after a while, please do not forget the seriousness of the fact that this is a top-secret government-funded facility. I don't care if you have cute little pins or cartoon characters on your lanyard; for your own safety, wear your badge.
Once again, if you have any questions or concerns, please forward them to your immediate supervisor or myself, since Roger Winery is still out of the country.
Thanks,
Sir Jim Phantomhive
Head of the Supernatural Relations Department
