It is irrefutable that nurse engagement is linked to patient outcomes and the patient experience. The literature demonstrates that nurses who are highly engaged invest more of themselves in their role, conduct their work with energy, are committed to their work with enthusiasm, and feel a profound connection to their employer. These attributes translate to quality care and positive patient outcomes. Engagement is not a new concept as an important strategy in building a satisfied, productive workforce in the nursing profession and others. As nurse demographics and work environments have evolved and changed, however, it is necessary to revisit what engagement looks like and how to foster it. Contemporary nurse leaders are challenged to adapt their practice to offset current threats to workforce engagement including changing demographics in the nursing workforce, hospital financial strain, nurse burnout and staffing shortages. This article discusses key strategies for nurse leaders to promote nurse engagement in the current health care climate. The voice of both nurse leaders and nurses in direct patient care are included and validate these strategies and the need to adopt and apply them.
