Attractive employee takes part (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handsome

'attractive' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'employee takes part' is the wordplay.
'employee' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of employee).
'takes' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'part' becomes 'some' (I've seen this before**).
'hand'+'some'='HANDSOME'

(Other definitions for handsome that I've seen before include "Striking" , "Fit" , "Goodly" , "Attractive, liberal" , "Pleasing in appearance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
