The videos are part of a series on family business stories focusing on the issues and challenges America\u2019s largest employer, family businesses, face today.<\/p>\n The CK Mondavi video features non-family member David Brown, President and CEO of the winery based in St. Helena, Calif.\u00a0 The Holland video features Andrew Geurink, Vice President, Holland Equipment Services, Holland, Mich.<\/p>\n Brown manages the 150-employee, woman-owned CK Mondavi, a fourth-generation enterprise looking to its young fifth generation to begin taking the leadership reins.<\/p>\n Our business is greatly affected by water restrictions and climate change,\u201d says Brown in the video. \u201cWe need to stay within the lines of state and federal regulations, but the biggest issue is finding employees, training them, and then finding new people and training them,\u201d he says in the video. \u201cThe workforce issue exhausts our resources.\u201d<\/p>\n Guerink at Holland echoes similar workforce challenges facing his family\u2019s 35-year-old business. Holland Equipment has 25 employees offering heavy equipment, trucking, logistics, and other services.<\/p>\n Finding the right kind of skilled workers, skilled trade workers, those that want to get their hands dirty are tough to find,\u201d Guerink says in the video. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to attract younger workers from high schools and at trade schools, but it\u2019s not easy,\u201d Guerink adds.<\/p>\n America\u2019s family businesses represent 59% of the country\u2019s private workforce, or some 83.3 million U.S. jobs, research shows. In a recent survey by Family Enterprise USA, it was found family businesses in America consisted of 23.7% in manufacturing, 10.4% in construction\/facilities, and 9.75% in real estate.<\/p>\n \u201cThese videos are designed to provide real-world stories from family business across the country,\u201d said Soldano about the latest releases. \u201cBoth Holland and CK Mondavi are good examples of the similar challenges family business face in hiring, managing difficult regulations, all while give back to the community,\u201d she said. \u201cWe hope other family businesses can learn from these leaders, become more engaged in these issues, and as a result make our voice on Capitol Hill louder.\u201d<\/p>\n If you have a family business and a story to tell about your success and\/or challenges click here.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_weight=”2px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Become a member text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” link_option_url=”https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/donate-2\/” global_module=”5822″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As we prepare for what promises to be a pivotal year for America, we’re asking you to consider becoming a member.<\/p>\n The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to multi generational businesses<\/a> and protecting a lifetime of savings<\/a> has never been greater.
