Disney, UPS, Virgin Atlantic and the U.S. Army have dropped restrictive tattoo policies and now let workers show their ink in a tight labor market.

The policy change"provides greater flexibility with respect to forms of personal expression surrounding gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices; and allowing appropriate visible tattoos," Josh D'Amaro, chairman of Disney parks, experiences and products,"We're updating them to not only remain relevant in today's workplace, but also enable our cast members to better express their cultures and individuality at work," D'Amaro wrote.

"We always review policy to keep the Army as an open option to as many people as possible who want to serve," Maj. Gen. Doug Stitt, Director of Military Personnel Management, told the."This directive makes sense for currently serving Soldiers and allows a greater number of talented individuals the opportunity to serve now."

"Part of the argument has always been that it'll hurt the organization, and that could actually change a consumer's purchasing behavior," Ruggs said."But if the cornerstone of your business is service, that's not changing, but allowing and relaxing some of these policies can help with employee morale and can expand who you can hire, which can help to improve employee performance.
