Improve Employee Satisfaction & Loyalty with eNPS
eNPS: What is employee Net Promoter Score and why is it important
The eNPS (employee Net Promoter Score) measures employee engagement and loyalty by asking employees how likely they are to refer their company to a friend. The score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of employees who are detractors (who would not recommend the company) from the percentage of employees who are promoters (those who would recommend the company). The higher the eNPS score, the more engaged and loyal the employees are.
Satisfied employees lead to satisfied customers
There is a strong link between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction. Building a great company culture that keeps employees happy and engaged is not only an investment in your employee experience but also in your customer experience.
Sometimes, the best way to increase your customer net promoter score, NPS, is to work on your eNPS. Engaged employees will walk the extra mile, create outstanding customer experiences, and be great ambassadors for your brand. Unhappy and disengaged employees, on the other hand, will often have the opposite effect on business. In other words, if you're struggling with low customer NPS scores, calculate your employee net promoter score and create a plan for continuous improvement.

Understanding who these groups are and why they behave the way they do can help you improve your product or service and increase customer loyalty. Adding follow-up survey questions to your eNPS survey is a way to get deeper insights.
