Minding the family’s business

Family businesses hold a special place in the economic landscape, with their own unique challenges and concerns. CEO of Family Business Association, Catherine Sayer, discusses the organisation’s recent Pronto Software Barometer Survey, which reveals how multigenerational thinking sets these businesses apart and why they are crucial to Australia’s economic and social fabric. The survey illustrates what keeps family business owners awake at night, the importance of long-term planning and the impact of strong family values on businesses. Catherine describes how the survey’s results will set advocacy priorities.
