How to measure engagement through employee net promoter score in Pulse

The eNPS (employee Net Promoter Score) metric is a leading indicator for employee outcomes like productivity and retention and helps HR teams uncover the most actionable steps to improve their employee experience. Admins can add an eNPS to Pulse surveys to help measure the change in score over time.

Edit the eNPS Question 

Admins can edit the wording of the eNPS question to customise it for their organisation. 

Note: You will still retain benchmarks and comparisons. However, significantly changing the wording of the eNPS question may impact the accuracy and reliability of your results. 
  1. Navigate to Admin > Engagement > Question Bank. 
  2. Next to the eNPS question, select Edit.

View for Pulse responders

When filling out an eNPS Pulse, Lattice users will see the standard question or your customised eNPS question displayed on a scale of 0 (Not very likely) to 10 (Very likely). Once a rating has been selected, responders are also able to add a comment. Responders have the choice to skip the question. 

Similar to other Pulse questions, receiving an eNPS question is randomized. However, when eNPS is included in a Pulse, it will be the first question asked. Learn more in Understand your Pulse Cadence.

eNPS analytics

When viewing your Pulse results, the eNPS reporting tab will appear at the top of the Pulse Surveys page. 

Survey analytics measure overall scores using a range that buckets responders as promoters, passives, and detractors: 

  • Promoters are response scores 9-10.
  • Passives are response scores 7-8.
  • Detractors are response scores 0-6.

To calculate eNPS, we take the percentage of your employees who are Promoters and subtract the percentage of employees who are Detractors. Your result is measured on a scale from –100 to 100. 

The overall eNPS score and distribution bar represent the respondents' most recent reply.
