Fulfilling work should satisfy 6 core needs

December 8, 2008 Julie Surycz Leadership No Comments

Employees have 6 core needs. If companies give their employees the opportunity to fulfill these 6 needs, workers are more likely to be fulfilled at work.  It is in all leaders’ and companies’ best interest to take note of these needs because, the fact is, happy and fulfilled employees are generally more productive and efficient.

The 6 needs are: -

  1. Certainty
  2. Variety
  3. Significance
  4. Connection
  5. Growth
  6. Contribution. 

The table below explains how work can fulfill each of the 6 needs of employees and how Generation X and Y’s response to these needs differs to Baby Boomers.

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
My last tweet was 9999989724. Wild. Will be at 10 [...]
