Several issues are considered in family vetting, including the following: First, the family must assess the capability and suitability of the candidate for the position. Second, there needs be awareness of the effect on other employees of placing a family member in a particular role. What message will the employees take from this? Will they be concerned about the impact on their prospects for advancement? Third, there may be competition within the family; another family member may expect to be chosen for the position. Cases like these must be mediated, lest the dispute spills over into the business.
