Measuring Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is are a great way to track employee engagement. Following up on the eNPS survey with follow-up eNPS questions can help you understand what needs to be improved in your organisation to increase employee satisfaction.

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.

Identifying promoters, passives & detractors

Identifying promoters, passives, and detractors is essential to understanding how different groups of people perceive your company.

  • Promoters are people who are satisfied with your product or service and would recommend it to others.

  • Passives are people who are satisfied but not likely to recommend it to others.

  • Detractors are people who are dissatisfied with your product or service and are likely to discourage others from using it.

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.
