Having reliable employees is golden, I doubt anyone argues with that.
The argument goes is that an average office hand, a janitor, a driver (or an accounts receivable clerk for that matter) will not be a critical loss for the company regardless of how good they are at their job. Hence no inherent need to try and retain them as hard as those in executive and technical positions.
You can certainly sprinkle some options on them to try and make them feel good, but you should really consider how receiving 0.005% of a company would really feel for them.
