Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS

Human Capital Analytics: The Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS)

Adapted from Fred Reichheld and Bain & Company's classic customer Net Promoter Score (NPS), eNPS measures internal employee loyalty and workplace advocacy based on a single core question: "On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our company as a place to work?"

• Respondent Classifications:

• Promoters (Score 9 – 10): Enthusiastic brand ambassadors who boost morale, recruit top external talent, and demonstrate high tenure retention.

• Passives (Score 7 – 8): Satisfied but unengaged; do not actively harm the company, but are susceptible to competitive headhunter offers.

• Detractors (Score 0 – 6): Disengaged or unhappy employees who may spread cultural toxicity, lower team morale, and pose immediate attrition risks.

• eNPS vs. Customer NPS: eNPS scores are typically lower than customer NPS because employees hold their employers to significantly higher personal standards; any eNPS score above +20 is generally considered good, and above +50 is world-class.
