Employee Net Promotor Score (eNPS)
employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is an internationally recognised measure of engagement using the question ‘How likely are you to recommend our organisation as a good place to work?’ with detractors, passives and promoters. A positive score means an organisation has more advocates (promoters) than it does detractors. It is measured on a -100 to +100 scale.
Looking at our benchmark data for eNPS, over the course of 2022 a steady increase can be seen, with Q4 proving to have the highest eNPS in the 2022.
