Fashion Planet was established in 1995 by Ms. Humaira Haq as a ladies dress boutique. It has grown to 50 employees. Ms. Haq is highly involved with her employees and promotes a supportive work environment. However, recent innovative designs failed, leaving the company in financial difficulty. Ms. Haq called a meeting where she said salaries may be cut 30% or operations may end. Employees, seeing her as a mentor, agreed to cuts. Ms. Haq is bringing in two friends with fashion experience to invest and help formalize structures and plans to stabilize the business.
