Answer
D
Explanation
This question pertains to employee turnover and staff retention strategies deployed within a company. To retain student workers after they graduate, the company should create an environment that encourages employees to stay and grow rather than looking for opportunities outside the company once they have acquired their degree. The answer option needs to demonstrate this specific attitude and approach. Option D proposes organizational Development and Learning, which means that the company would give students opportunities for personal growth and professional development by providing learning and development programs, growth opportunities, skill upgrades and so on. It is far more likely to retain the staff and add to their reasons to want to stay after they graduate as it serves their personal aspirations for their future career.
