"The new policy will definitely _____ employee morale."

The correct answer is affect.

"Affect" is typically a verb meaning "to influence or have an impact on." "Effect" is usually a noun meaning "a result." Here, we need a verb after "will," so "affect" is correct. Remember: Affect = Action (verb), Effect = End result (noun).
