Family Values
Operating a family-run business like Dio-Met can bring many valuable benefits when compared to other companies for both the business itself and for it's customers.
Advantages of a family-run business
Stability - knowing that the company is building towards a future encourages long-term strategic thinking for growth and success through the generations of management. Short-term vision where an individual or company is looking to make a quick buck is of no assurance to it's employees or customer base alike.
Company values - members of the family are likely to share the same values, moral ethics and beliefs on how the company should be run, how people should be treated and ultimately create a shared vision and work ethic. This work ethos transmits through the workforce with employees taking pride in their work with job satisfaction and purpose.
Reputation and quality - quality of work is always at the forefront of any successful family business for one simple reason, reputation. Company reputation for a family business is key to happy customers, repeat business and word of mouth recommendations. People buy from people so offering not only quality of product, but quality of service is paramount and a vision which often gives a family run business a key competitive edge.
Loyalty - you can't choose your family right? Perhaps not, but family members are likely to stick together in times of hardship and come out the other side stronger, a determination that is required for business success. Employees are often too regarded in the same way, especially those of long standing commitment; willing to offer ideas for improvement or change that would benefit the business as a whole.
Commitment - any business owner knows that they will be required to put in long shifts, work extra hours and far surpass the standard 9 to 5 working hours to be successful. This can however be a downfall of multi-director companies that are not related, often creating a divide as each person must offer an 'equal' contribution towards the company. Your family is more likely to understand individual needs, be flexible with working hours and share the same drive towards a mutual goal.
Family members are generally more willing to make financial sacrifices for the good of the business, taking lower wages where required, not driving around in luxury vehicles for status as so many directors are tempted to do - until they can be afforded that is!
