Core Needs

BICEPS

Community and Connection

“I was part of this group, and now I’m being moved away.”

Progress towards purpose/my work improves others’ lives/my skills are increasing.

I have a reason to come in every day.

“How does this fit the plan?” “Will this slow me down?”

Options and Autonomy

“I chose my current seat” “Is this the first step in taking away more autonomy?”

Equal access to resources/information / Reciprocity / Fair decisions

“This is unfair” “I used to have a window”

When/Where/What is consistenent

“I like having my spot” “I don’t want to move everyday”

My work & worth is recognized

“Where do I belong?” “Am I being punished?”
