What are the hot searches for high heels, optional pants, and new work uniforms for flight attendants? Clothing "reduces burden" and lowers occupational injury risks, highlighting flexible management. Recently, several airlines have adjusted their dress codes, with "removing high heels" and "choosing pants or skirts" becoming new trends in the industry. Experts say that this transformation reflects the evolution of industry culture from formalism to people-oriented. Clothing "reducing burden" not only enhances employee satisfaction, but also reduces the risk of occupational injuries, helps to build harmonious labor relations, and is also a reflection of flexible management and industry progress in enterprises. Recently, Shandong Airlines launched a new uniform, allowing female flight attendants to choose between pants or knee length skirts, and fully switch to flat shoes. This adjustment has attracted widespread attention and has become a hot topic. The reporter's interview and investigation found that the traditional standard uniform, which uses high heels paired with skirts, has many pain points in terms of safety, comfort, and functionality. It not only affects work efficiency, but also increases the physical strain on flight attendants. Recently, several airlines have adjusted their dress codes, with "no high heels" and "optional pants or skirts" becoming new trends in the industry. Experts say that this transformation reflects the evolution of industry culture from formalism to people-oriented. Clothing "reducing burden" not only enhances employee satisfaction but also reduces the risk of occupational injury, which helps to build harmonious labor relations. The dressing adjustment focuses on "easy to wear" and "not only looks good, but is also easy to wear", which clearly makes it much easier for the flight attendants to move around. ”In mid October, Ms. Li was pleasantly surprised to find that the flight attendants were wearing sweaters and cardigans to welcome her on a flight from Harbin to Qingdao. The cabin temperature fluctuates greatly, and sweaters and cardigans are warm and easy to put on and take off, so we no longer have to be 'beautiful and cold'. ”Han Jianing, the chief flight attendant of the cabin service department of Shandong Airlines, told reporters that for flights like Haikou to Harbin that cross the north and south, the autumn and winter seasons can be described as "flying four seasons a day, with different temperatures for thousands of miles", and woolen cardigans effectively solve the problem of warmth. In October, the "Unfinished Youth" series of flight attendant uniforms of Shandong Airlines was unveiled, including wool cardigans, long sleeved dresses, short sleeved dresses, windbreakers and other styles for female flight attendants. Flight attendants can freely choose skirts or pants according to the route, climate and personal preferences, and flat shoes have completely replaced high heels. Han Jianing stated that the "update" of the dress code system highlights humanization and autonomy. Pants are not only comfortable to wear, but also can improve work efficiency. "Squatting down to tidy up the dining car, bending over to serve passengers, lifting hands to place luggage, wearing skirts can't stretch out, and you may even encounter embarrassment when walking out. The reporter learned from the interview that tight fitting skirts and high heels have become a workload for many flight attendants, making it difficult to stand and walk for long periods of time. "Formal uniforms require ironing to be flat and wrinkle free. In summer, dress should be accompanied by silk stockings. In cold weather, hats and scarves should be worn uniformly, which is both troublesome and uncomfortable." Wang roast, a flight attendant who has worked in an airline for more than one year. The reporter noticed that many airlines have recently focused on optimizing their dress code for "easy to wear": Hunan Airlines has fully implemented the policy of flight attendants wearing flat shoes to fly; Juneyao Airlines has issued high heels and flat shoes, specifying that flat shoes must be worn when working on board; Spring Airlines, in response to the large temperature difference between the north and south, has added pants to their winter uniforms for cross regional flight attendants to choose from, ensuring warmth needs. Chen Cheng, director of the Practice Teaching and Research Office of the Law School of China Institute of Labor Relations, stated that this transformation reflects the evolution of corporate culture and industry culture from formalism to people-oriented. Clothing "reducing burden" not only improves employee satisfaction, but also reduces the risk of occupational injury, which helps to build harmonious labor relations. From "adapting to uniforms" to "serving people" to make workwear more "easy to wear", the core lies in meeting the real needs of employees. Xu Hongpeng, General Manager of Brand and Quality Management Department of Shandong Airlines, introduced that the uniform renovation was carried out through extensive research in the early stage, collecting opinions from employees of different ages, regions, and positions. "The high demand is that wearing high heels for long periods of time on duty is very painful. Hu Bin, the chief steward of the cabin service department of Shandong Airlines, deeply shares this feeling. She, who never wears high heels, has to spend a long time with them after work. The flight mission lasts for 10 hours a day, plus the time for entry and exit, the actual duty exceeds 12 hours. At the end of the day, her feet often swell and ache, and it even takes two days to recover. In addition, wearing high heels on duty can increase the risk of sprains and slips. To truly put people first, it is necessary to prioritize the occupational health and work experience of employees. ”Xu Hongpeng stated that the new uniform design has changed its mindset - from requiring employees to adapt to the uniform in the past to making the uniform serve the employees. Work clothes should first make the person wearing them feel respected and cared for, "said Xu Hongpeng. In Han Jianing's view, the aesthetic requirements of traditional attire often conceal the professional abilities of flight attendants. The primary responsibility of a flight attendant is to ensure the safe travel of passengers, including safety checks, handling special situations, and paying attention to the needs of special passengers. Only then should they provide high-quality services. From a legal perspective, the professional standards of professional attire should first serve the needs of ensuring labor safety and fulfilling job responsibilities. Article 54 of the Labor Law clearly stipulates that "Employers must provide workers with labor safety and health conditions that comply with national regulations and necessary labor protection equipment". Therefore, the core legal principles of tooling design are safety and practicality, and addressing the needs of convenience, safety, comfort, etc. is precisely the true professional manifestation of ensuring safe production and complying with legal requirements. Meng Quan, the head of the Department of Labor Relations at the China Institute of Labor Relations, believes that allowing flight attendants to freely choose their attire means that the management focus of airlines is shifting from formal aesthetics to practical service. In the future, airlines should also focus on the professional growth, digital skills, cultural literacy, and other aspects of flight attendants, and carry out cutting-edge comprehensive ability training. The workwear should also keep pace with the times. "Passengers are more concerned about the professionalism and flight safety of the flight attendants, rather than how well they dress," and "the value of flight attendants should not be limited to beauty, but should return to work itself." In the past year, many passengers have filled out opinion cards while flying, hoping to "reduce the burden" on the flight attendants in terms of dress. Regarding the concerns and appeals from passengers, Hu Bin believes that "nowadays, passengers value professionalism and service capabilities more, and can clearly feel that social concepts and the entire industry are improving." In Meng Quan's view, as young people such as those born in the 1990s and 2000s gradually become the main force in flight attendant positions, their new demand for workplace experience is also forcing companies to adopt flexible management methods to improve performance. The reporter noticed that not only flight attendants, but also many industries are optimizing tooling design to make workers more comfortable and convenient. For example, in the summer, the supermarket industry provides outdoor employees with "air conditioning suits" with built-in fans; The food delivery platform updates the autumn and winter workwear for riders, using brighter colors and more windproof and warm fabrics, balancing safety and practicality. Meng Quan believes that optimizing the design of chemical equipment is the result of balancing the goals of enterprise management and the humanized needs of employees, and must keep pace with the times. When designing workwear, enterprises should strengthen employee participation and respect the needs of workers for working conditions and protective functions. In addition, enterprise trade unions can take the lead in promoting workwear optimization plans to provide more personalized services for employees. Chen Cheng further pointed out that to promote a healthy and humane professional environment, employers should comply with legal provisions. When formulating or modifying rules and regulations that involve the vital interests of workers, they should be discussed by the workers' congress or all employees, and proposals and opinions should be proposed and determined through equal consultation with the trade union or workers' representatives. At the same time, the labor administrative department should strengthen law enforcement supervision to ensure that the provisions of the Labor Law and the Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Law on providing safe and hygienic working conditions are implemented, and systematically promote the overall improvement of the occupational environment.
