Family businesses often describe their organizations as being “like a family.” That sense of connection can be one of their greatest strengths – creating loyalty, trust, long-term employees, strong customer relationships, and a culture that is difficult for competitors to replicate.
As a father-daughter team working within a multigenerational family enterprise, Jeff Ahola and Sonya Ahola James bring a unique perspective to these issues. They understand the realities of operating a family business, while also drawing on Ahola Payroll & HR Solutions’ experience helping employers manage payroll, HR, compliance, employee administration, and the day-to-day people challenges that come with running a business.
Closing Takeaways. Attendees should leave the webinar with six central ideas:
- Family culture is an asset worth protecting.
- Culture shouldn’t substitute for good HR practices.
- Payroll and HR are closely connected.
- Family relationships and employment relationships need boundaries.
- Professionalization doesn’t have to mean corporatization.
- Preserve the values. Evolve the practices.
