Is Employee Engagement a Sisyphean Effort?

Almost every company these days wants to create a program, a process, an intervention or an initiative that creates employee engagement.  

It starts with the company paying someone for a “scientifically designed and vetted” survey instrument that gives management a “score” that can be influenced. The score, usually somewhere between 1 and 5, or 1 and 10 – or even 1 and 100 – tells management where on a finite engagement continuum their employees sit.

Obviously, when given a scale of engagement, human nature kicks in and you want to get to the highest score (whether that be 5, 10, or 100.) Management has its eye on the prize – total employee engagement (so we’ve got that going for us.)

Ring the bell, drop the balloons and confetti and pat each other on the back. You’ve arrived.

Let me ask this stupid question though...
