Grooming Standards

At Amelia Island Plantation we take pride in providing naturally friendly and responsive service. By portraying a crisp and conservative, well-groomed image, we feel better about ourselves and our customers feel better about having chosen Amelia Island Plantation as a resort or residence. Projecting the proper image is one of the ways we show respect for ourselves, our co-workers and our customers and makes us more approachable.

The following guidelines on this highly personal subject are offered to help ensure that the expectations of our customers for top quality service and surroundings are met. A neat and clean appearance, strict adherence to personal hygiene and professional demeanor will increase efficiency as well as insure a more pleasant atmosphere in which to work.

Compliance with the Company grooming standards is expected at all times while performing job-related duties at Amelia Island Plantation. Failure to comply with the Grooming Standards will result in progressive discipline. The Executive Committee must approve exceptions to these standards.

Uniforms and nametags must not be worn on property after working hours. Otherwise, the same standards for grooming and appearance and behavior apply if you are on property after working hours.
