An ongoing challenge among U.S. employers, including health care systems, is to keep employees engaged. A Gallup poll (2014) indicated that only 31.5% of employees in the United States report they are "engaged at work," meaning they are committed to their job and making positive contributions. Fifty-one percent reported they are "not engaged at work," meaning they are not likely to put effort into organizational goals. Seventeen and a half percent are "actively disengaged," described as unhappy, unproductive, and likely to spread negativity. Shared governance is the gold standard for engaging nurses in solving problems at the point of care.
