In his book Play Nice But Win, he connects this to psychologist Abraham Maslowโ€™s hierarchy of human needs and shows how it plays out in corporate life. But this was written years ago, so is it still true in 2025? ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฑ. Today, employees expect more than just perks or slogans.

Many workers fear being replaced, so continuous learning has become part of feeling secure. Companies that focus on upskilling wonโ€™t just lower attrition, theyโ€™ll help employees survive and grow. So, what does an employee care about today? โ€ข Fair pay โ€ข Stability & security โ€ข Freedom & flexibility โ€ข Upskilling โ€ข Real culture & trust โ€ข Meaningful impact If youโ€™re an employee, what do you expect in 2025? If youโ€™re an employer, are you meeting those needs?
