Ping-pong tables aren’t going to cut it. This is what a healthy company culture actually looks like.

Abraham Maslow's idea of self-actualization involves individuals becoming the best versions of themselves. In the context of the workplace, employees can self-actualize when they clearly see how their unique skills and knowledge are contributing to larger goals and view their work as an integral part of their identities.

Cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman explains the difference between a job, career, and calling. A calling involves a sense of purpose that extends beyond oneself, leading to higher motivation and life satisfaction.

A good leader can create a workplace where employees are empowered to self-actualize by recognizing employees' unique strengths, allowing them to utilize these strengths in their work, and intentionally helping employees connect their purpose to the organization's goals. This approach values employees' uniqueness rather than just standardized performance, fostering a workplace culture where individuals feel their talents contribute to a larger purpose.
