Hiring Family Members
The act of hiring close friends and family members and can be beneficial or detrimental to the business, depending on various factors.
Benefits: The employer knows them already and has a personal relationship with them, knows their skills, background and type of personality. This reduces the 'fit-in' time required for a new hire. Family members would, reciprocatively, work with dedication and ownership, having a genuine interest in the business, and maybe continue the legacy in the future.
