Summary:

Mr. Khalid is the chief executive officer of Khalid IT, which is one of the most renowned digital marketing information technology (IT) agencies in Bangladesh. The firm works for foreign clients, providing various services including digital marketing campaigns, web development, graphic design, and administrative support. There are 15-16 employees working in this organization. However, the recent energy crisis and frequent load-shedding have tremendously affected this organization, especially its operations and employees. This case illustrates the challenges faced by Khalid IT due to the energy crisis and frequent load-shedding during the summer season in Bangladesh. Load-shedding is an interruption of an electricity supply to avoid excessive load on the generating plant. The case also highlights the influences of the energy crisis and frequent load-shedding on employees' performance, attendance, and work-life balance. The case study also articulates the processes by which Mr. Khalid introduced early-morning work starts so that employees could work without interruptions and leave the organization by 2 p.m. Students will get an idea of some challenges that have been faced in this change to working practices at Khalid IT and how these challenges were overcome. The students will also be able to learn how transactional leadership styles can be effective in managing employees during crisis periods.
