Which action is about empowering employees?

• A. Create policies that support collaboration
• B. Formulate long term strategy for millennials
• C. Build workspaces that attract talent
• D. Empower the workforce

Answer: (D)

Empowerment means giving employees the authority, resources, and support to make decisions and take action within their roles. When you empower the workforce, you enable people to act with initiative, make improvements, and respond quickly to changing situations, which strengthens motivation, ownership, and alignment with strategic goals. This direct transfer of authority is the hallmark of empowerment.

The other options contribute to the workplace in different ways but don’t directly grant autonomy: creating policies that support collaboration builds the environment for teamwork; formulating a long-term strategy for a specific group focuses on planning rather than day-to-day decision-making by employees; building workspaces that attract talent improves recruitment and retention but doesn’t by itself empower employees to act.
