Performance management is not just an annual review. It begins before you hire an employee and should be part of your daily employee management process. Effective performance management looks at employee retention, development, alignment, motivation, and rewards, and when done correctly, it also helps you determine when it’s time to exit an employee from the company. There is no one right way to manage your teams in your family business, so be prepared to share ideas and take notes!
Sharon DeLay, President of GO-HR and Conway member will lead the discussion and provide her expertise of the challenges that face family businesses Don't miss this in-person opportunity to dig deep into HR issues, engage with each other, and consult with Sharon.
Generously sponsored by Morgan Stanley

The Three Circle Model, developed by Renato Tagiuri and John Davis at Harvard Business School, explains how family businesses operate through three interconnected systems:
1. Family: Blood relations and spouses
2. Business: The company's operations and management
3. Ownership: Shareholders/stakeholders who own the business
The model illustrates seven possible positions where individuals can exist, from being solely in one circle (family member only, employee only, or investor only) to occupying overlapping positions (family member-owner, family member-employee, owner-employee) or all three simultaneously.
This framework helps identify sources of conflict, roles, priorities, and relationships within family businesses, making it useful for strategic planning and conflict resolution.
Panelists:
Alison Marker, President + CEO, Marker, Inc.
Ben Tarrier, President, Tarrier Steel Company
Facilitated by Ryan Yeoman, Professional Implementer, EOS WorldWide
