Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs proposes that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other needs. The hierarchy consists of physiological needs, safety and security needs, love and belongingness needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. An organization's pay structure, career progression opportunities, job security, culture, and employee development programs can help fulfill employees' needs at different levels of the hierarchy to increase motivation and engagement.
