Here's what's really wrong with employee engagement surveys:
1. Your relationship with your family is more important than any relationship at work.
2. For the vast majority of people, their current job may be a potential route to fulfilment, but is unlikely to be the long-term path to that, and they know it.
3. It is incumbent upon employees to pretend to be engaged only so long as a less draining option for meeting the financial demands for their life is not apparent.
4. Employee engagement surveys ultimately are only designed to justify the cost of maintaining the ongoing salary of a VP and attendant minions.
Yes, practice your craft, and work hard, but please just know that your fulfilment will likely come from outside of work.
