ABC (Pvt) Ltd is facing motivational issues with their employees. Currently, their motivation activities include providing salaries, overtime pay, bonuses and other financial benefits. However, employees feel their salary increments are insufficient, they try to take all their leaves, and there is a high turnover among female workers. The company also lacks transportation facilities, has issues with working environments and facilities, and takes too long to address problems and give promotions. To improve motivation based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, the company should increase basic pay and benefits, improve safety measures, encourage socialization, implement performance evaluations, and support self-actualization through training.
