Intellectual–Finding use for creative abilities, knowledge and skills.
Occupational–Satisfaction in what one does for a living that gives them a sense of purpose and offers them an opportunity for growth.
Environmental–Addressing the need for a pleasant, stimulating environments that promote daily wellness.
