tratos especiales
El parentesco entre supervisores y otros miembros de la organización,
no afectará el desempeño ni la toma de decisiones en la empresa. Sólo
se considerarán las capacidades del trabajador, sin dar lugar a
favoritismos o tratos especiales.
Mi intento: Only the skills and qualifications of the worker shall be considered, excluding favoritisms and .....
"special treatment" no es lo que busco, pienso que no transmite la idea del original.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thanks, Albert, but that's simply not true. There's a difference in register and 'special' is more everyday, slightly less formal, so actually likely to be more frequently used

I feel that 'preferential treatment' brings more to mind things like the "extras" you get when flying 1st or Business class, or the VIP lounge in clubs for special members, etc.
