Employment for family businesses

Family businesses have to deal with employee issues in the same way as any other type of business. In addition to the usual employment issues, there can be additional complications where the family is no longer involved in the day-to-day running of the business. In these cases, management  competence and   incentivisation are key success factors which need careful attention and call for an appropriate balance of policies, procedures and controls to aid performance.
