Question

Fewer than 20% of employees feel their strengths are used every day (Wagner & Harter,2006).When nurses do not believe their skills are used,they are more prone to feel alienated from the group.This leads to being unengaged and even disengaged in the workplace.This is not supportive of a positive,creative work environment.Researchers have demonstrated that those who feel "in" cooperate more,work harder and more effectively,and bring enthusiasm to the group.
