Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is about fulling the needs of ourselves which includes, but is not limited to, shelter, food, clothing or other belongings, and anything to boast our self-esteem. This theory believes that we must meet these needs before we can begin to fulfill our full human potentials.
I have to agree with this theory. I believe if we do not look out for number one first, how can we be able to look our for others. We sure couldn't tend to our children, which would be one thing we would have to do to fulfill our human potential. We need to be happy with ourself to help others be happy. My belief is you first need to be happy with your surroundings --have shelter, adequate food, clothing that makes you feel good and not just stuff to cover yourself. Once we have this, the rest can come a bit more natural. When we are happy with her surroundings our self -esteem rises which of course can result in better job opportunities, which of course have affect on our food/shelter/clothing etc. So each are connected to the other. But for better, we need to start with a solid foundation and then that creates a better life.

I agree with your post about maslow's hierarchy of needs. But what do you think employers can do to help employees fulfill their needs? A job naturally implies that they can reach their more demanding needs (physiological, safety and so on) but how can an organization improve employees belonging and self actualization needs?
