B.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the most important motivator would be asking employees for their input on important issues. This would make the employees feel as though they are appreciated and needed within the company and would not feel as though they are going to get fired soon because of the economic downturn. Therefore they will stay at the company and not begin to seek other employment opportunities.
