All depends on the employee and the people who would be presented with this reference.
As of today, using "they" is considered "progressive", while using "he/she" is considered "conservative".
If there is any clear indication which pronoun employee would prefer, go with it. However, it is not so often that this preference is known.
Second, if your organization has any guidelines or standard practices for using pronouns, follow them. Note that this is a quickly changing subject, so if your organization exclusively used "he/she" five years ago, it may be different by now.
And last, use your own judgement. Who would be the likely recipient of this reference? Any chance they would like it one way or the other?
