people atleast at birth, although later on they are gradually
lost. He believes that five basic human needs that motivate the
employees are:

individual for whole year.

quarterly basis & reports submitted to mgnt.
• Appraisals are used for several purposes as

o Granting of additional increments
o Transfers
o Training

14. Empowerment:
The process of displacing decision making downwards
to the workforce, or lower levels of management, to
enable them to use their skills more effectively and
flexibly. The emphasis is often on better engagement
with customers.
