In professional relationships where personal interactions are limited, acknowledging changes in appearance, like Mary's new beard, might not be necessary or comfortable. If the colleague hasn’t brought it up, it’s often best to follow their lead and avoid discussing it, as it can maintain the professional tone of the relationship. Although there's nothing inherently wrong with the change, keeping discussions focused on work can help ease any potential awkwardness.
In professional settings, it's best to keep small talk out of the realm of physical appearance, as not acknowledging changes can feel more comfortable.
A compliment on a colleague's change in appearance might occasionally be appropriate, but generally, ignoring the change is the preferred approach.
