After an ethics scenario in new-hire orientation, a clerk failed the role-play. How should the instructor report that result?

Short Explanation
Failing an ethics role-play is not a citywide news blast. Send the result to the people who actually need it — supervisor, HR training file — and stop. Public lists and social posts are how privacy gets wrecked.
Full Explanation
After an ethics scenario in new-hire orientation, when a clerk failed the role-play, the instructor should share performance results only with people who have a need to know—not on a public list. Confidential handling of evaluation results protects the employee and the integrity of municipal HR processes. Emailing a named "failed the ethics scenario" story to a public city distribution list violates need-to-know. Posting the role-play video on the city’s social media for "transparency" is a severe confidentiality breach. Reading the clerk’s failure aloud at the next all-hands meeting publicly shames and misuses evaluation data. Exam caveat: distribute performance results narrowly to authorized parties. Operational check: record the role-play result in the secure training file, notify only the clerk and designated supervisor/HR contacts, omit names from broad summaries, and never publish identifiable failure narratives to open city lists or social channels. Keep the published objective visible on every rubric and report so raters do not drift into convenience metrics. Confirm with a second reviewer when stakes are high that the evidence matches the objective rather than a proxy such as speed, smiles, or familiarity.
