Organizations can further support this need by asking existing employees various questions and attempting to better understand each individual. Some questions to ask are: • Are they happy in their role and doing their work? Is it aligned with what’s important? • How do they feel they are contributing through their work? • What matters to them? What causes do they care about? • What do they want to be doing with their life? • How can their job help them experience belonging? Asking about their job satisfaction, contributions, and personal aspirations emphasizes the importance of each individual's role in the organization's success, cementing a feeling of belonging and increasing engagement and satisfaction. 4. Esteem Needs “I feel significant,” “I feel respected,” and “I feel like I’m contributing,” are all feelings that are necessary to meet the level of esteem. When people feel recognized and valued, they are mo- tivated to continue being effective and valuable. Making sure every person in your organization feels they play an important role in the organization’s success, no matter their job, is paramount. However, it is crucial to distinguish between significance (feeling important and making a dif- ference) and contribution (being a part of something big- ger than you or your ego and making a difference, even without recognition or significance). The latter is the pinnacle of Maslow's Hierarchy and the highest level of effectiveness, known as self-actualization.
