What Behavioral Competency do you see being used by the HR professional in the scenario? What action shows this? Family Ties An employee relations manager started working at a large retail company in an entry-level position over ten years ago. She has family members who work for the same company and has also developed many friendships. Now that she is in an HR/labor relations position, these connections can create an ethical dilemma. One of the responsibilities of an employee relations manager is to assist with the announcement and placement process when there is a store closure. Informed of a planned closure, the manager realizes that a family member works at the store. She spends the next sleepless night worrying about doing the right thing. She decides to disclose the situation to her boss. She says that she knows she cant warn the family member of the closing, but she is worried about the effect on her close-knit family when they find out she has not warned her relative. Her boss shows emotional intelligence. He is very compassionate and understands the managers situation. He says that he will pull the family member aside after the announcement and explain to her that the employee relations manager feels badly that she could not give her some warning, but it would have been unethical for her to advise a relative of the decision to close the store before the other employees have been told. Also, since the employee relations manager is in charge of placement, she makes sure to involve her boss in the placement decision of the family member to eliminate the conflict of interest or bias
