Breach of confidentiality
After having suggested that staff ask Shona directly why she has been off you later find Shona crying in the staff room. She says colleagues kept asking her about her time off and she felt she had to explain but would have preferred to keep it confidential.
Please watch the video and decide what to do next. Pleas choose one of the three options below.
What's your next step?
Option 1: Tell her that you haven’t disclosed anything to the team and there will always be questions so it is probably for the best that she told the team.
Option 2: You apologise to Shona that she has found herself in this position and offer support. Tell her that you will speak to the team and ask them not to discuss it further.
Option 3: Tell Shona that you will tell the team not to discuss Shona’s business.
