Pyramid Model of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs is often depicted as a five-tiered pyramid or triangle. At the base are physiological needs (such as food, water, shelter, and warmth). The second tier comprises security needs (including safety, employment, and assets), while the third tier involves social needs (encompassing family, friendship, intimacy, and belonging). The fourth level focuses on esteem (such as self-worth, accomplishment, and confidence). The pinnacle of the triangle is self-actualization, which corresponds to the pursuit of inner fulfillment.

Based on the principles of a hierarchical model of motivation, which of the following strategies should the organization prioritize to address the primary unmet need driving turnover?
