eNPS functions, perhaps not surprisingly, much like the NPS metric. Employees are asked to rate their answer to one single question on a scale from 0–10. Often that question is a variation on, ‘How likely are you to recommend [company] as a place to work?’.
Respondents are then categorized into one of three groups:
- Ambassadors score between 9 and 10
- Passives score between 7 and 8
- Detractors score between 0 to 6
By subtracting the percentage of detractors from ambassadors, you arrive at the eNPS number.
It’s worth to note that this number often falls below the standard NPS, since employees tend to hold their workplace to higher standards than customers buying a product.
