Mindfulness increases our happiness and our ability to serve others more effectively. Below is the list of the 14 universal needs correlated with employee engagement and retention  Clarity of Expectations Having the Tools Required to Do One’s Job Doing Work That Leverages One’s Strengths Appreciation / Recognition Growth Feeling Like Opinion Matters  Meaningful Work Excellence Belonging Feedback Autonomy Trust Well Being Feeling Cared for by Supervisor   Clarity of Expectations A lack of clarity is a significant source of anxiety and frustration. Having the Tools Required to Do One’s Job Lacking the tools to do one’s job is a significant source of anxiety and frustration. Doing Work That Leverages One’s Strengths The more time people spend doing work they enjoy and are good at, the more likely they are to be engaged. Appreciation / Recognition People need to feel recognized and/or appreciated for their contributions. Growth People need to be continuously growing. Feeling Like Opinion Matters / Is Heard People need to feel like they’re making a contribution with ideas that are at least considered.   Meaningful Work The average person would give up roughly 23% of their income to do consistently meaningful work. Excellence People inherently want to do a great job. Belonging Having a good friend at work is one of the strongest predictors of retention. Feedback People need regular, helpful feedback to grow. Autonomy People need to feel that they have as much control as possible over their lives. Trust People need to trust their coworkers, most importantly their leaders. Well Being Negatively impacting well being is strongly negatively correlated with engagement and retention. Feeling Cared for by Supervisor Perhaps the most powerful driver of engagement and the foundation for meeting all other needs. In addition to the 14 universal needs above, each individual has needs for thriving that are unique to them. These needs are often best identified by employees’ direct supervisors through meaningful, 1-1 conversations.
