Applying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to Business Operations: How Automation Can Shape a Better Organisational Culture

For Esker, building a human-centric and sustainable business has been the objective ever since we started the company 39 years ago. And today we still ask ourselves how we can encourage others to also embrace this vision for their organisations.

Some vacation reading took me to the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs, and this theory seemed quite fitting not just on a personal level, but also for a business. According to Maslow, what motivates humans to act is the goal of fulfilling five levels of needs: physiological, safety, social, esteem and self-actualisation. The lower-level needs must be satisfied before the higher-level needs can be pursued.

An organisation’s needs can be categorised into a similar ranking: The source-to pay (S2P) and order-to-cash (O2C) processes involve the flow of information and money between a company and its customers and suppliers. These processes are, in fact, the foundation of business operations, as they cover the entire cycle of procurement and sales: from sourcing suppliers and placing orders to delivering goods or services and collecting payments. Automating these processes improves efficiency, accuracy, speed and customer satisfaction. These advantages, in turn, flow into all business relationships, including buyers, suppliers, customers and employees. Read more..
