Solution
Arpit has job confirmation (safety), medical insurance (safety), a promotion and self-fulfillment (esteem and self-actualisation). What he lacks is good cordial relations with his colleagues, which falls under affiliation or belongingness needs in Maslow's hierarchy — the need for friendship, acceptance, and social interaction.
