ISSUE 01 | Q1 2023 22 #3 Significance: The need of feeling unique Significance refers to the human need to feel important, valued, and appreciated. Most people seek significance through their relationships, career, and achievements. Significance gives people greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives; it helps them to build self-confidence and a sense of control over their lives. #4 Connection/Love: The need for closeness The need for connection refers to the need to feel loved and accepted by others, to feel that we belong to a group and that we are connected to something larger than ourselves. In this respect, connection is a basic human need because it is associated with our mental and physical health and our overall wellbeing. It is the same need that drives us to build relationships, as a way to find meaning in our lives. Closeness can also reduce stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem and increase overall sense of happi- ness. #5 Growth: The need of expanding capacity Growth is associated with the desire to develop and improve ourselves, in any aspect of life, from personal re- lationships to career and education. The need for growth is why you have been seeking for a new job that will expand your learning opportunities, it will encourage you to learn new skills and become a better version of yourself. Growth is an important part of leading a fulfilling life. #6 Contribution: The need to giving Contribution, as a human need, describes the desire to give something back to the world and is usually expressed through volunteering, donating money, creating art, or any other form of “giving back”. Contribution is rooted in the belief that we are able to create something meaningful and leave an impact on the world. This helps us feel connected to something greater than ourselves and can lead to a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Why are human needs important for my career life? The six human needs provide a framework for under- standing how to create an environment that is conducive to success. Understanding your own needs can not only help you avoid toxic behaviors and habits but can also help you achieve your goals. This applies also to business leaders, who provide a starting point for developing strategies to motivate and en- gage employees. When these needs are satisfied, employ - ees are more likely to be engaged in their work and willing to put in the extra effort to achieve success. For example: 1. Knowing what to expect in your career life (certainty) can help you make the relevant decisions and planning in order to reach your goals. 2. Having a variety of experiences in your career life (un- certainty) can help you learn, grow and develop skills. 3. Feeling valued and appreciated at your work (signifi - cance) is the key to motivated, productive and engaged employees. 4. Having strong relationships with peers (connection) boosts the sense of commitment and identification with your organization. 5. Constantly looking for ways to learn and develop (growth) is a way to remain motivated and competitive in your field, and consequently feel more fulfilled. 6. Being able to contribute to something bigger than yourself (contribution) and knowing that your work has a positive impact on others can give you a great sense of satisfaction and pride. Everybody has goals and de- sires that are different, but we have the same needs. -Tony Robbins A R T I C L E s q e m a r i n e . c o m / d r y b m s SQEMARINE is the leading provider of Maritime Safety, Quality & Environmental QHSSE & Regu- latory Compliance Consulting, SMS, Ship Manuals, Training and e-learning, for more than 25 years , to 1,500+ clients, operating a DNV Certified Training Center and a LRQA ISO 9001 certified System.
