So it sounds like what you want is a many-to-many polymorphic. Many People can have many preferences. Many Organization can have many preferences. So you need 2 tables.

preferences
   id
   name

the "pivot" table

preferenceables
   preference_id
   preferenceable_id
   preferenceable_type | string "Employee" or "Organization

The 2nd part of your question I'm a little confused about but it sounds like you can do that as pivot data inside the preferenceables table
