Affiliation needs are met by providing for good interpersonal relationships among staff. Planning a social gathering is a way of meeting affiliation needs. Reorienting all staff to policies and shift routine is probably unnecessary and would not address affiliation needs. Encouraging attendance at continuing education seminars addresses level 4 needs for recognition, growth, and responsibility. Offering training in violence prevention addresses level 2 safety needs.
