Xanat is grief-stricken after the death of her mother. Consequently, her productivity at work is suffering. Humberto, her supervisor, calls her for a meeting to discuss her deteriorating performance. Xanat tells him that she is finding it difficult to concentrate at work after her mother's death. Humberto recommends that Xanat should seek help from the company's Employee Assistance Program. This scenario illustrates the concept of _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

Employer-Employee relationship

Explanation:

This scenario shows the existing relationship between Xanat and Humberto, her supervisor.

Humberto notices Xanat's decline in work performance levels and calls her for a meeting where it is discovered that her recent bad performances at work is related to the grief she is facing as a result of her mother's death.

Humberto understands her grief and instead of threatening her with pay cuts or sacking, he recommends she visit the company's Employee Assistance Program so she can get over her grief quicker and return to work.

This shows quite clearly the good working relationship between Employee and Employer. In another scenario, with another supervisor, Xanat may have been fined or talked to harshly but because of the working relationship her supervisor Humberto understood her grief and gave her time to recover and a place to do so.
