Sure but when the decision is left to employees, they will organically choose solutions that makes the most sense for them rather than what makes sense only to an individual. Treat the employees as autonomous responsible individuals; give them the freedom on how to best solve their problem and they will solve it. Seen another way, as a manager who is not involved in the day to day you don’t deal with the same problems that they do. Quite presumptive of you to think that you know what will solve their problems.
