You've probably heard of Net Promoter Scores (NPS for short) - used to measure customer satisfaction. But many organisations also use what's known as an eNPS (employee Net Promoter Score) to measure employee satisfaction.

eNPS is a simple and quick way to measure your employees' loyalty and satisfaction at work.

An eNPS is usually derived by asking the following question:

On a scale of 0-10 (10 being the highest), how likely is it that you would recommend this organisation as a place to work?

In their article, you'll find answers to the following:

What do the scores mean?

  • 9–10: Promoters - These employees are your most positive and satisfied members.

  • 7–8: Passives - These staff members are content but not fully committed to your organisation.

  • 0–6: Detractors - These employees would not recommend your organisation and may be dissatisfied to a certain extent.

How is the eNPS calculated?

The homepage eNPS is calculated by taking all of the scores logged by employees on their homepage in the last 6 months. Therefore, to calculate the score it requires employees to have a log in to WeThrive and to enter a score on their homepage.

To calculate the overall eNPS:

  1. Work out what percentage of employees that are promoters and the percentage that are detractors.

  2. Subtract the % of detractors from the % of promoters. This will give you your eNPS.

Example:

25% of employees are detractors and 55% are promoters.

55 - 25 = +30.

+30 would be your eNPS.

What is considered a 'good' eNPS?

An eNPS can range from -100 to 100 and the acceptable figure varies between different organisations. It's typically stated that:

  • Above 0 is acceptable

  • 10-30 is good

  • 50+ is excellent.

Is the homepage eNPS anonymous?

Yes. There must be at least 4 scores given by employees to show an eNPS to managers or admins. If there are less than 4 scores given, no eNPS score will show.

Once eNPS has at least 4 responses, managers and admins can see the number of people contributing to the eNPS.
