The company offers state-of-the-art office spaces with ergonomic furniture, recreational zones, nap pods and complimentary meals.

Which action by the company primarily addresses the physiological needs as per Maslow's theory?

Providing opportunities for internal career growth

Offering meals and comfortable office furniture

Hosting team building events

Recognizing employees publicly for their achievements.

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Providing opportunities for internal career growth addresses self-actualization needs (personal development and reaching one's potential).

Option 2 -> Offering meals and comfortable office furniture directly addresses physiological needs (food for sustenance and physical comfort for basic well-being).

Option 3 -> Hosting team building events addresses love and belonging needs (social connections and relationships with colleagues).

Option 4 -> Recognizing employees publicly for their achievements addresses esteem needs (recognition, respect, and appreciation).

Hence, Option 2 -> Physiological needs are the most basic level in Maslow's hierarchy, encompassing fundamental survival requirements such as food, water, rest, and physical comfort. Providing meals ensures nutritional needs are met, while comfortable office furniture supports physical well-being and rest, making this the only option that directly addresses physiological needs -> correct
