Employee Hierarchy of Needs

The Employee Hierarchy of Needs looks at the dynamics between employees and the organisation. It is an evidence-based tool used to determine the level of employee ‘need’ satisfaction. There are five levels beginning with Safety & Security (physical and psychological) followed by Rewards (tangible and intangible), Affiliation, Growth and finally Work/Life Balance. As each need is met, the employee moves up to the next level.
After determining the level of engagement of employees the organisation can then determine the optimal investment levers for each level and quantify the ROI to the bottom line.
