Core eNPS question

This single question is the score. Keep the wording and scale identical every cycle.

The question

On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend this organisation as a place to work?— 0 = not at all likely, 10 = extremely likely

Follow-up (open text)

What is the main reason for your score?— free text
What is one thing that would raise your score?— free text

Response banding

ScoreBandWhat it signals
9–10PromotersLoyal advocates who speak well of you
7–8PassivesSatisfied but not enthusiastic; at flight risk
0–6DetractorsUnhappy and may discourage others from joining

How to calculate eNPS

  1. 1.Count responses in each band and convert to a percentage of total responses
  2. 2.eNPS = % Promoters − % Detractors
  3. 3.The result is a whole number from -100 to +100; passives are excluded from the subtraction but counted in the totals

How to use this template

  1. Ask the one question. Field the core 0–10 likelihood-to-recommend question to every employee on a fixed cadence.
  2. Band the responses. Score 9–10 as promoters, 7–8 as passives, and 0–6 as detractors before calculating.
  3. Calculate the score. Subtract the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters to get an eNPS between -100 and +100.
  4. Read the comments. Use the follow-up text to understand what is driving promoters and detractors, then act on the themes.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good eNPS score?

Anything above zero means you have more promoters than detractors. Scores of +10 to +30 are common and healthy; +50 and above is excellent. Your own trend over time matters most.

How often should we measure eNPS?

Quarterly is the sweet spot for most teams — frequent enough to spot trends, spaced enough to take action between reads. Always keep the question and scale identical across cycles.

Should eNPS replace a full engagement survey?

No. eNPS is a fast, single-number health check. Pair it with a fuller engagement survey to understand the specific drivers behind the score and where to focus.
