Feeling Spooky? Halloween Costumes That HR Won’t Haunt You For
Dressing up for Halloween at work can be fun, but it’s important to stay HR-friendly. In this article we discuss creative costume ideas that are festive yet professional, ensuring you can participate without crossing any boundaries. If your current role gives you the creepy crawlies, explore the opportunities PrideStaff Financial has to offer!
The first rule of thumb:
Know the don’ts and stick to these rules and you will have a fun Halloween season in the office. Keep it classy and avoid tragic events or religious innuendos. Don’t be offensive–think outside of your sense of humor to consider whether your costume might offend someone. If somebody does a double take to see if you’re really wearing what they think you’re wearing, you’ve pushed it too far. For example, it’s never okay to dress in blackface, wear something transphobic, or display a costume that objectifies women or men in general. Don’t wear plastic body parts—this means that plastic bum that sticks out when you bend over or something worse. Workplace costumes should never insinuate any form of flashing or reignite traumatic feelings of harassment.
Be “work safe” creative:
A great fun costume is Dunkin’ Donuts. If you can’t make it through the workday without your Dunkin’, this costume is a must! Rock an all-tan outfit adorned with the iconic Dunkin’ logo and add some mini acrylic ice cubes for a cool touch. It’s also a costume most coworkers will love.
Hippie it up:
Want to spread love, peace, and joy? Then consider being a hippie. Slip into your grooviest outfit and top it off with a cute DIY hippie headpiece to bring a touch of retro fun to the festivities!
Pick a classic movie:
Are you a fan of Grease, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Use these great classic ’80s movies to give you safe and fun ideas for office costumes that HR will love.
