Employee needs

One theory of motivation that many received very positively in the field of management of the organization's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory propounded by Abraham Maslow. According to Maslow every individual has needs that are arranged in a hierarchy from the most basic level to the highest level. Every time needs at the lowest levels have been met, other needs will appear higher. At the lowest level, included a variety of basic needs that are biologically, then at higher levels included a variety of needs that are social. At the highest level included the need to actualize themselves.

The need for self-actualization
Needs to be appreciated
Needs to be loved and cherished
The need for security and peaceful
Basic physiological needs

The company needs the above translates as follows:

• basic physiological needs: salary, food, clothing, housing and other basic facilities that are useful for the survival of worker.

• The need for security: a work environment free from all forms of threats, the security office/ position, clear job status, security tools used.
• Needs to be loved and cherished: the interaction with co-workers, freedom of social activities, given the opportunity to establish rapport with others.
• The need for respect: the award or reward, recognize the work of individual.
• The need for self-actualization: the opportunity and freedom to realize the ideals or  expectations of individuals, freedom to develop a talent or talents you have.

Given that every individual in the company comes from many different backgrounds, it will be very important for companies to see what the needs and expectations of employees, what talents and skills they have and how the employee plans in the future. If the company can know these things, it will be easier to place the employee at the most appropriate position, so he will be more motivated.

To do this is certainly not an easy matter, but it requires hard work and genuine commitment from management

Conducive Working Environment

All personnel possess the need to express themselves, want to be accepted as part of a "family member / company", want to believe and heard his words, appreciated by management and are proud of what he did. Through two-way communication (including meetings / meeting) the management can identify these things as well informed about company goals, target markets and future plans and encourage employees to give feedback.

The management must also learn how to form a "corporate culture" and a conducive working environment. This can only be achieved through the practice of leadership and good corporate management, humanitarian approach, justice for all, a clear career structure, training and development programs are integrated, the support of adequate working equipment, an objective performance assessment, the program "rewards" the right , adequate salaries and allowances and other activities held by the company.

Another factor is no less important is that employees need to know that management recognizes their presence, aware of the importance of employees for the company, managers are able to remember the names of his subordinates and did not hesitate to greet them.

Managers who fail to remember the names of subordinates or does not respond when addressed by subordinates will make employees lose motivation to work, less loyal and less confidence in the manager. The manager can gain loyalty and trust of his subordinates if he treats his subordinates as "partners", showed a high caring, willing to listen to suggestions and complaints and willing to share their experiences.
