Can you be a business owner, employ other people, work 60 hours a week, take financial risks and still not be considered a working person? t’s an interesting question, isn’t it? In this episode of The Career Cafè, I explore the distinction between employers and employees and ask whether we’ve become too quick to put people into different boxes. From small business owners working tirelessly to keep their businesses alive, to employees contributing their skills, knowledge and experience, I look at the importance of recognising the contribution, responsibilities and challenges on both sides. This is hopefully an honest, balanced conversation about work, responsibility, fairness and mutual respect. After all, businesses don’t succeed through labels or job titles. They succeed because people make them happen. So, are employers working people? And at what point does employing somebody else mean you stop being one yourself? Join me for a thought-provoking conversation about people, business and what really makes the world of work tick.
