Nepotism
Nepotism is a form of discrimination in

for reasons that do not necessarily have
anything to do with their experience,
knowledge or skills.

Nepotism in
business
No matter how well intentioned you are in
hiring your friends to work in your small
business, it's a slippery slope you're about to
traverse if your other employees perceive this
act as just the first step in a long road of
favoritism.

Business The ethics of nepotism in business have a lot to do
with the business structure. A family business,
structure often established as a sole proprietorship,
partnership, typically means you own and control
the operation by yourself or with family members
who are partners. .

Practical
Matters
you need to consider the practical business matters:

 While family businesses often establish legacies from

multiple generations of family involvement, not all
companies benefit from nepotistic behaviors.
 In some cases, well-meaning owners or operators hire
underqualified, unmotivated family members that aren't
worth what they are paid.
