This document presents three facts about employee engagement: 1) US companies spend $720 million annually on engagement initiatives with limited success, 2) only 32% of US workers and 13% worldwide are engaged, and 3) employers focus on intrinsic motivations that employees are ultimately responsible for themselves. It argues that the billion dollar employee engagement industry should be disrupted by replacing "engagement" with the concept of an "employee alliance", which frames the relationship as a mutually beneficial partnership where both parties take responsibility for driving workforce motivation. This alliance model shifts the focus to individual accountability for engagement rather than an employer's unrequited attempts to influence intrinsic factors.
