Maslow hierarchy of needs defines the level of needs in a hierarchal fashion. It says
that one level of need, if not fulfilled, cannot be bypassed. Once the need is satisfied,
it is no more a need. In this scenario, if we take care of the safety needs,
belongingness needs and esteem needs of this lady ,we can motivate her to continue
her job efficiently.So by taking little considerate measures we can increase the
productivity of this employee and also keep her motivated.
