people have recognized the importance of grooming, and
it comes quite naturally to them everyday. Others just
practice grooming poorly or neglect it altogether which
is wrong. There are several benefits of grooming. Below

esteem and self-confidence. It does this by influencing

are professional and should be taken seriously. It
greatly impacts your image in the workplace and how
you’re perceived. You will earn respect from your
employers and colleagues.

feeling good with yourself because you know you look
good.
