Working Effectively in a Family Business

Victorian primary producers represent a unique group of industries, with a large proportion of businesses family owned and operated. Working in a family business can be hugely rewarding, but it does have its challenges. As well as working together, many families in business also live in the same environment--blurring the lines between the workplace and the home front. This can create strained relationships, increased conflict and confusion about roles within the business.
