eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) adalah salah satu cara paling sederhana namun efektif untuk menilai pendapat karyawan Anda tentang perusahaan Anda. Ini termasuk satu pertanyaan menarik yang mengukur loyalitas. Contoh pertanyaan eNPS meliputi: Seberapa besar kemungkinan Anda merekomendasikan perusahaan kami kepada orang lain? Karyawan menanggapi survei eNPS pada skala 1-10, di mana 10 menunjukkan bahwa mereka 'sangat mungkin' untuk merekomendasikan perusahaan dan 1 menandakan bahwa mereka 'sangat tidak mungkin' untuk merekomendasikannya.
