Having the Tools Required to Do One’s Job

Lacking the tools to do one’s job is a significant source of anxiety and frustration.

Doing Work That Leverages One’s Strengths

The more time people spend doing work they enjoy and are good at, the more likely they are to be engaged.

Appreciation / Recognition

People need to feel recognized and/or appreciated for their contributions.

Growth

People need to be continuously growing.

Feeling Like Opinion Matters / Is Heard

People need to feel like they’re making a contribution with ideas that are at least considered.

 

Meaningful Work

The average person would give up roughly 23% of their income to do consistently meaningful work.

Excellence

People inherently want to do a great job.

Belonging

Having a good friend at work is one of the strongest predictors of retention.

Feedback

People need regular, helpful feedback to grow.

Autonomy

People need to feel that they have as much control as possible over their lives.

Trust

People need to trust their coworkers, most importantly their leaders.

Well Being

Negatively impacting well being is strongly negatively correlated with engagement and retention.

Feeling Cared for by Supervisor

Perhaps the most powerful driver of engagement and the foundation for meeting all other needs.

In addition to the 14 universal needs above, each individual has needs for thriving that are unique to them.

These needs are often best identified by employees’ direct supervisors through meaningful, 1-1 conversations.
