Spanish term or phrase: se expresan en comportamientos laborales...
Competencias que dicen relación con habilidades conductuales:
En este grupo están incluidas aquellas competencias que involucran habilidades que SE EXPRESAN EN COMPORTAMIENTOS LABORALES ESPECÍFICOS EN LAS RELACIONES CON PERSONAS.

My English version:
This group encompasses those skills that are expressed in interpersonal relations at work.

My dilemma here is that I have to use either "working competencies" or "competencies," but in this particular case, SKILL seems more appropriate to me.

What do you think?
TOT!

work-related conduct
Explanation:
Although your translation is very elegant and educated, I feel more comfortable personally to have the word itself that represents "comportamiento", in this case "conduct".

The reason I chose "work-related" instead of "at work" is because they could extend beyond the workplace yet still be work-like in nature.

I hope this helps.
