In the aftermath of recent rains that fell in Karachi and other cities, where numerous companies had to make safety a priority for their employees, J. Junaid Jamshed was a shining example of responsibility and care.
The news story was discovered as one of the brand’s employees posted their story on social media, and it quickly garnered interest. J. then shared the story on the official Facebook page of the company which reflected the brand’s values of genuine compassion and care with its staff.
The downpour grew more intense and the roads grew more dangerous The management swiftly reacted to give employees a early day leave to allow them to get home safe. Managers personally kept communicating with their teams and checked in with each team member until that they were at home. This considerate step provided employees with the feeling of peace and confidence that their health was important.
The 20th of August in 2025 J. took it one step further and announced an entire day off in order so that everyone wouldn’t have to travel in the severe conditions. The announcement affirmed the company’s determination to put the safety of its employees, their health and security above the business goals.
In a world where deadlines and financial gains often overshadow our human needs, J. Junaid Jamshed’s actions were an exceptional and authentic example of management. The focus wasn’t on taking an “right business call” -there was a genuine feeling in performance, which proved the value of employees as human beings first, and as professionals last.
