Cake can automatically add your selects so you do not need to manually do
that.
In controller:
$departments = $this->Employee->Department->find('list');//get list of all
the departments
$this->set(compact('departments'));
Then in the form echo $this->Form->input('departments');
Read the book or API classes as there are options to set empty value => Find
in the List, 'type', $options. Whole slew of options available in
FormHelper
