Reaching Self Actualization
Reaching Self Actualization
I've always been drawn to Abraham Maslow's theory of, "Hierarchy of Needs", where he proposed that people need to meet their basic human needs, in specific order, to reach their full potential, aka "Self Actualization". And the theory applies itself perfectly to the workplace.
Basic Human Needs in the Workplace
Physiological needs (food, water, shelter, rest) = work/life balance, stocked kitchen, proper rest spaces.
Safety needs (safety, security) = proper hvac, safe neighborhood.
Social needs (belonging, love) = collaboration, team activities.
Esteem needs (respect, recognition) = praise, rewards.
Self-actualisation needs (personal growth, fulfillment) = sense of purpose, serenity.
When a workplace has a strong foundation that fulfills staff needs, it empowers them to be the best version of themselves and contribute most meaningfully to the business.
Simple Truths to Guide Us
Simple Truths to Guide Us
Truth #1 - People Work a Lot.
With a staggering 36% of our waking lives dedicated to work, it's a significant portion of our life's journey. For this reason,
it's crucial that our work environments foster not just productivity, but also well-being and a sense of purpose. A healthy
and fulfilling work experience contributes to our overall quality of life, impacting our mental health, our relationships, and
our sense of identity.
Truth #2 - People Need Healthy Work Environments.
A healthy work environment is not just an ethical responsibility, but a strategic imperative for any organization that wants to attract and retain top talent. Healthy work environments are essential because they boost employee well-being, productivity, and creativity. When people feel valued and supported, they perform better, experience less stress, and contribute more to a company's success.
Truth #3 - Business Success is Positively Impacted by an Engaged Staff.
Engaged employees aren't just satisfied; they're enthusiastic, committed, and actively contribute to the organization's success. They feel valued, understand how their roles contribute to the bigger picture, and are eager to learn and grow. This emotional and intellectual investment translates into increased productivity, innovation, and a positive, thriving workplace culture.
