E-NPS Score: A Practical Way to Understand Employee Experience

Would Your Employees Recommend Your Company to a Friend? This simple question actually captures the essence of employee engagement and experience. That’s exactly why E-NPS (Employee Net Promoter Score) has become such a powerful and practical indicator for both HR professionals and organizational leaders.


📌 What is E-NPS?

E-NPS is calculated by asking employees the following question: “I would recommend my company as a great place to work to people I know.”

Responses are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 and categorized as follows:

1–3: Detractors (Unfavorable)

4: Passives (Neutral)

5: Promoters (Favorable)

Formula:

E-NPS = % of Promoters – % of Detractors


📊 What Do the Scores Mean?

+50 and above: Excellent – Strong engagement, culture, and employee experience

+10 to +50: Good – Solid, but with room for improvement

0 to +10: Caution – Signs of silent disengagement

Below 0: Critical – Serious risks in engagement, trust, and overall experience


Global E-NPS Benchmarks

While scores vary by industry, global benchmarks are generally as follows:

Technology & Software: +30 to +50

Finance & Consulting: +20 to +40

Manufacturing & Logistics: +5 to +25

Retail & Services: 0 to +20

Global average: +14

Note: Just as important as the overall score is how it varies across departments and employee segments.


Looking beyond the number, E-NPS doesn’t just give you a score it reflects deeper dynamics such as:

Trust in leadership

Psychological safety at work

Opportunities for career growth

Team communication and cultural alignment

That’s why it’s essential to combine the score with open-ended feedback, segmented analysis, and periodic comparisons to uncover the full story behind the number.
