See this article. http://include.nurse.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080825/PA02/108250085.
Do you think shared governance is the future of the nursing workplace? Do you think collective bargaining agreements and nursing unions are the future of the nursing workplace? What do you see in the nursing workplace of the future?
The article notes the shared governance consists of five councils made up of staff nurses, managers, and staff eduation personnel from around the hospital. The councils are education, quality, diversity, research, and practice.
That's nice but if you really want fairness and balance in the employer-employee relationship with a shared goverance model try a more substantive committee, like a Workplace Mediation and Conflict Management Committee that conducts workplace investigations of said policies and procedures and the employee handbook and mediates in-house disputes between professional disciplines and employees.
