This lady who is between 25-30 years old never wears a bra to work, and trust me she needs one. All day I hear the guys talking about her. They flirt with her non stop. They're not getting much work done since she has been hired. Some guys will walk by her desk several times a day and ask her stupid questions like where's the copy machine when they know where it's at. How can we get this woman to wear a bra?

If you are friendly with her, pull her aside and have a chat with her.
Although there is no law against going braless (with a top on of course), it can create a work hazard by causing distractions.
She could very possibly be setting the place up for a sexual harassment law suit, I've seen that happen before at one place. A new employee wore skin tight clothes, a worker made a slip of the tongue and next you know, they company was hit with a multi-million dollar suit. It might be best to speak to the supervisor or HR and let them handle the situation.

Maybe she's setting up the company for a sexual harassment lawsuit. If someone continually and frequently looks at a female employee's breasts, that constitutes harassment according to the law. I'd have a mandatory meeting about sexual harassment in the workplace so everyone is informed.
I don't think you can mandate she wear a bra. Do not put a bra on her desk, that alone with constitute harassment. The men aren't getting briefs on their desks. No one knows if the men are wearing briefs. This is a sticky area in law, so study up on it and consult your corporate attorney for advice.

are you sure she doesnt have a bra on. My older sister has whomper stompers and she wears a bra but sometimes it is hard to tell. You need to talk to her and the men that are hanging out with her and not getting their job done. Sexual Harrisment comes to mind. Of course the men can get charge with this as well as her. If her not wearing a bra is offensive to you or others and you have spoke with her there could be charges brought up against her.

I think everyone has been spot on so far-if she's dressing inappropriately then she should be talked to and eventually reprimanded if she doesn't change her ways. But don't feed me a line about how the poor office workers just can't get anything done because she's such a distraction. They're people, not animals, and are perfectly capable of handling themselves in a professional manor. If their productivity is lacking, they ought to be reprimanded as well.

I think that she should wear a bra, but even if she doesn't, it does not excuse the men. They are getting paid to do a job and they need to grow up. I am sure that they have all seen breasts before, so they should be able to get their work done anyway.

Have your supervisor or HR person deal with both the issues. One is her not wearing a bra, and the other is the guys ogling at her. They are very close to giving her a reason to sue for sexual harassment.

Well, for one thing, the guys should stop looking. It takes two to tango.
Either way, this is a job for the manager to handle. He or she should reprimand the guys for wasting company time by flirting with the woman. And he or she should consider creating or enforcing a company dress code.

have a female employee (preferably upper management) pull her to the side and tell her. but i don't think that the guys are distracted for her lack of bra. And you need to tell your guys to grow up and get some work done!!!

you guys sound like you've never had a relationship with a woman before. grow up. if she goes braless you should still be doing your work. you have the power to look where you want your eyes to go--just because she dresses seductively (or worse) doesn't mean you have to go gah gah over her during working hours. wait until quitting time if you must make a move. good luck and godspeed.

If it's impacting your work it would be appropriate to discuss with your supervisor. If it's not impacting your work and is just annoying you, you might want to ignore it for now. It's likely that supervisors are already aware of this issue if it's as visible as you describe.
It's not appropriate for you to address it with her directly unless you are her supervisor and someone has complained or you are the supervisor of those whose work it is impacting.
It might not be legal or appropriate for the management to even address it with her, depends on where you are and the local and company culture.
