That\u2019s what Abraham Maslow had in mind. He carved out five essential needs that motivate human beings. Let\u2019s talk a little about those in detail here to understand what Maslow&#8217;s Hierarchy of Needs is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These needs are in a specific order. The ones that we are listing first are the ones that are most basic and come at the bottom, and then we go higher from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Physiological Needs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one is the most basic need that a human wants. This includes a stable life and lifestyle in the form of a job, regular income, comfortable home, food, water, etc. Our physiological needs are fulfilled by the availability of the most basic resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Safety Needs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our safety needs go a level above our physiological needs. Just having a regular income doesn\u2019t do, but, having a job contract that protects that regular income and rights, is a safety need.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Social Needs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aristotle stated, \u2018Man is a social animal.\u2019 This went on to become the pillar of human nature and even economies around the world. Physiological needs are dependent on self, whereas social needs come from an external space such as friends, comfort, and love.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Self-Esteem<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where humans rise up the psychological needs ladder to actually embrace their individuality. But, self-esteem is a basic need and people need it to feel good and confident about themselves. Lack of self-esteem can lead them down a deteriorating mental health stage that affects both personal and professional aspects of their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Self-actualization<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a stage of self-fulfillment that goes a step further than advanced self-esteem. Self-actualization is when the person is fulfilled in what they are doing, in personal, professional, and basically all spheres of life. It\u2019s the zenith of the hierarchy of needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-195454\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD.png\" alt=\"Maslow\u2019s hierarchy of needs pyramid\" width=\"1571\" height=\"1616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD.png 1571w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD-292x300.png 292w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD-995x1024.png 995w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD-768x790.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD-1493x1536.png 1493w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD-97x100.png 97w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD-437x450.png 437w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CC5986DA-6488-46F6-8FC1-E26E8ACFC5DD-1167x1200.png 1167w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1571px) 100vw, 1571px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/businessopenstax\/chapter\/maslows-hierarchy-of-needs\/\">Source<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Maslow Pyramid is all about basic human needs.

A fresher has a different professional perspective and an experienced manager has something different to say. That\u2019s why Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs in the Workplace also differs as per the workspace hierarchy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider it this way, an employee who is no longer concerned with a particular tier of the pyramid of needs moves up the ladder. This, more often than not, is directly related to an employee\u2019s position in the organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employee who has just started their career would be mostly looking at the tiers that rest at the bottom; physiological and safety needs. This stems from the fact that what they are looking for is security regarding their basic needs and a safety net of a stable work environment. Whether or not that work environment is emotionally comfortable can be something they want but not exactly what they need or would look out for. On the other hand, someone who is at a little higher level would have mostly got both these needs taken care of, so, they will be concerned with the next tier, that of social needs and self-esteem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at Maslow\u2019s Theory of Motivation or Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs, level-wise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyramid of Needs for the Lower-level Employees<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The start of a career is defined by uncertainties and confusion. As a result, the main goal is not to find a job that fulfills passion, but rather one that can help pay the bills. This is a part of what we call physiological needs. Physiological needs in Maslow\u2019s Pyramid of Needs refer to the basic human needs such as earning well enough to be able to afford decent accommodation and have access to food, water, sanitation, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entry-level employees are the ones who are concerned with these needs. Alternatively, these are also the needs of employees who may have been caught by an element of surprise in the form of job termination or a global recession. Physiological needs become a concern when there is an element of scarcity. The employees are either starting or they are starting again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you think of using Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs to motivate employees of lower levels, you have to think of the following points.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Act humane, especially in cases such as job cuts\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider if any policy is going to threaten the employees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establish interpersonal relationships and reward them as well<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not keep the employees in the dark about company policies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Balance employee rewards and perks to keep them motivated\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managers should be trained to implement all of the above and more<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point of implementing the pyramid of needs at work is to push the employees towards the next stage. When you push the lower-level employees and motivate them as per Maslow\u2019s philosophy, you are shifting them from the point of needing physiological and safety nets to the point of security, and eventually self-actualization as they recognize and acknowledge their self-esteem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyramid of Needs for the Higher-level Employees<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we have talked about how Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs in the workplace affects the employees at the lower rung, it\u2019s time to talk about those at the higher level. What do the higher-level employees feel about their needs? Are they stagnant and satisfied or are they willing to grow further? In the latter, where they wish to know more, grow more, and eventually be happy with their self-growth, they need motivation. Applying Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs in the workplace can do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-esteem and self-actualization are higher-level needs. This is because the employees at this level have already received stability and safety in their professional environment. These are experienced individuals who know what they are doing and know how to use their skills to sell the vision and mission of the organization. But, what next? There are very few individuals who are self-motivated, enough to bring something innovative to the table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your higher-level employees want something more and this something is them finding their own professional niche. This happens when they discover how they can utilize their self-esteem to reach the level of self-actualization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few ways in which you can apply Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs in the case of higher-level employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perks are fine but make the work more rewarding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include the employees in the decision-making<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay special attention to their designation and job description<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symbolism works, so make it a point to give\u00a0 them a nice corner office and other perks\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give them the chance to reward their teams and employees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let them manage projects and teams rather than <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/micromanagement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">micromanaging<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enroll them in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/employee-development-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Employee Development Programs<\/strong><\/a> that refines their skill<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nurture and train them as role models<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to understand that the best way to motivate higher-level employees is by steering them towards the highest tier of Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs, i.e. self-actualization. This is done by boosting their self-esteem, which is affected by all of the things mentioned above and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Benefits of Applying Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs in the Workplace<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have talked enough about the theory itself, how it works, and how you can apply it to motivate employees. But, what benefits does it bring?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, the theory streamlines your work as an HR in knowing exactly how to manage the human resources in the organization, enough to help them be better and work better. There is no set template to manage the dynamics of human nature, but a format always helps, with a few tweaks here and there, and being open to exceptional scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the benefits that applying Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy in the workplace brings along:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees feel safe and secure at work<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It inculcates team spirit\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It improves the management capabilities of those at the higher-level<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applying this theory at work increases the employee retention rate because they feel wanted<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It increases the overall productivity across all organizational levels<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, Maslow\u2019s theory helps lower-level employees become secure in their job and be better managers when the time comes. Simultaneously, it helps higher-level employees be better managers, transforms them into role models, and pushes them to be better versions of themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applying Maslow Theory of Motivation in an organization has many benefits. You only have to think of how you can do it the best way possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are There any Limitations to Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Theories are accurate, the application is not. It stands true for Maslow\u2019s theory as well. While on paper there are many advantages, does it actually work in real life? The answer is both yes and no. Yes, it does work, but it also has some disadvantages.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no way to measure human satisfaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concepts like self-esteem and safety are too broad and the definition and application change according to cultures, demographics, and other factors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no empirical backing on how the needs are ranked<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-actualization is different for different people<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, are the limitations great enough to outdo the merits? It depends on how well you can understand and implement it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you Need Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs in the Workplace?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s the million-dollar question. Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs is one of the many theories that are out there. How successful it is going to depend on the person who implements it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding <\/span>Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs can help leaders foster a more motivated, engaged workforce. According to Maslow, basic human needs are ranked<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a pyramid structure, beginning with <\/span>physiological needs\u2014the essentials for survival\u2014at the bottom. Safety needs come next, followed by social needs for connection, and then esteem needs<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>The top levels of Maslow&#8217;s hierarchy include the needs for self-actualization and self-transcendence<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014the ultimate aspirations for personal growth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This framework, sometimes called <\/span>Maslow\u2019s law pyramid<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, shows that <\/span>physiological needs<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> must be met before individuals can focus on higher needs. In the context of business, this theory can highlight how meeting each level of need, from security to recognition, provides the foundation for maximizing potential, increasing employee loyalty, and driving performance. While <\/span>limitations of Maslow\u2019s theory<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> do exist, like its rigid hierarchy, the <\/span>advantages of Maslow\u2019s hierarchy<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remain compelling for organizations looking to unlock deeper levels of <\/span>motivation<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and satisfaction across their teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, if you implement it quite well and have the intuitive gaze that can identify an employee\u2019s psyche from the way of working and behavioral ethics, this is a theory you can test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you tried the pyramid of needs at your workplace?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a
