How can knowledge of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs help managers to develop a more motivated and satisfied workforce?

After reviewing the description of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in Section 14.2, view the Improving Motivation with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs video(Links to an external site.) which provides specific examples how to connect employee motivation to each level in Maslow's pyramid.

Next, watch the Culinary & Hospitality Opportunities video(Links to an external site.) from Wegmans paying particular attention to the comments made by current Wegmans employees.

Contrast the way these workers seem to feel at Wegmans with the statement made in Exhibit 14.9 of your text that "starting tellers at a Chase Bank make a reported $36,100 per year and are in a position that has repeated tasks and may not be the most rewarding from a motivational point of view".

Submit your initial posting responding to:

1. Which aspects on the Hierarchy of Needs appear to you that Wegmans approach helps satisfy?
2. Is it apparent from this video why Wegmans has earned a place onFortune's "Best Company to Work For" every year since the list started? Share examples.
3. What about the shopping experience at the place where you buy your groceries, assuming it's not Wegmans, is there something they could learn from the Wegmans team that would improve your overall opinion? Explain.
