The correct option is D Both a & b

People aspire to join organizations that have high ethical values. Such companies are able to attract the best talent. The ethical climate matters a lot to the employees. Ethical organizations create an environment that is trustworthy, making employees willing to rely on company’s policies, ability to take decisions and act on those decisions. In such a work environment, employees can expect to be treated with respect, and will have consideration for their colleagues and superiors as well. Thus, company's policies cultivate teamwork, promote productivity and support employee-growth.

Retaining talented people is as big a challenge for the company as getting them in the first place. Work is a mean to an end for the employees and not an end in itself. The relationship with their employer must be a win-win situation in which their loyalty should not be taken for granted. Talented people will invest their energy and talent only in organizations with values and beliefs that matches their own. In order to achieve this equation, managers need to build culture, compensation and benefit packages, and career paths that reflect and foster certain shared values and beliefs.
