It really isnt hard to measure employee engagement. It's actually incredibly easy. Managers just tend to not like the results and quite frankly are ill equipped and unwilling to put the consistent ongoing work in.

Most managers shouldn't be managers. If writing reports is your top priority you have failed miserably at your job, but will probably be promoted

There is definitely a cargo cult phenomenon going on here. For companies that value employee engagement and are willing to sacrifice other things for it, it's just not that hard. Companies that don't value it, but think it sounds progressive or enlightened or whatever, will do some official-looking things with the phrase "employee engagement" associated, but will mysteriously find it to be a thorny problem.
