Can a DAO have employees?

Hi, I'm learning about DAO's, very very interesting. I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on how a DAO actually functions from a business standpoint. It seems to me that DAO's only work if its connected somehow to the internet of things but I know that most business in reality have some sort of workforce. Is it possible for a DAO and its token holders to vote on and hire an employee to conduct say the daily operation of said business?

Thanks,
