The guide

Everything you need to know about the eNPS survey

What is the eNPS Survey?

The eNPS Survey measures employee Net Promoter Score, a single headline metric for how likely your people are to recommend the organization as a great place to work. At its center is the 0 to 10 scale question, followed by open text that asks for the primary reason behind the score and the one thing the organization could do to earn a higher one. Around that core, this 13-question template adds statements on pride, fairness, whether the day-to-day experience matches what was promised in hiring, and confidence in leadership. It is short enough to run frequently and pointed enough to show where loyalty is won or lost.

Why run an eNPS Survey

eNPS gives leaders one number they can track over time and a clear story behind it. The 0 to 10 recommend question converts scattered sentiment into promoters, passives, and detractors, while the two open-text follow-ups tell you exactly why people landed where they did and what would move them up. The supporting statements on pride, fair treatment, and whether the job matched the hiring pitch help you separate a compensation problem from a trust or expectations problem. Because it is only 13 questions, you can run it quarterly, spot dips early, and connect changes in the score to specific decisions you have made.

What this eNPS Survey covers

The 13 questions start with the classic driver: "On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend this organization as a great place to work to a friend or colleague?" Two open-text items then capture the primary reason for the score and the single change that would raise it, turning a number into actionable feedback. The remaining statements probe the emotional and rational sides of loyalty: feeling proud to tell people where you work, whether daily experience matches what hiring described, belief that the organization treats employees fairly and with respect, whether people would choose to work here again, and satisfaction with the quality of leadership. Together they explain the score, not just report it.

How to use this free template

Copy or download the 13 questions and load them into your survey tool of choice, such as Google Forms, Typeform, or Microsoft Forms. No signup is needed. Set the recommend question as a 0 to 10 scale, leave the two reason questions as open text, and keep everything anonymous so scores are honest. Send it to the full workforce in one window, give people a few days to respond, then calculate your eNPS and read the comments together for context before deciding what to act on.

FAQ

Questions about the eNPS survey

Use the 0 to 10 recommend question. Scores of 9 and 10 are promoters, 7 and 8 are passives, and 0 through 6 are detractors. Subtract the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters to get your eNPS, which can range from negative 100 to positive 100. Passives are counted in the total but do not add to either side.

There are 13 questions: the 0 to 10 recommend question, two open-text follow-ups on the reason for the score and what would raise it, and supporting statements on pride, fairness, leadership, and whether the role matched the hiring experience. That length keeps it quick to complete while still explaining the score behind the number.

Because it is short, many teams run eNPS quarterly so they can watch the trend and react before small issues grow. Some run it monthly during periods of change. Whatever you choose, keep the timing regular and consistent so each score is comparable, and avoid sending it so often that people stop giving thoughtful answers.

Yes. The recommend score and the open-text reasons are far more honest when people know they cannot be identified. Collect responses without names, and when segmenting by team only report groups large enough to protect individuals. Anonymity is especially important for the fairness and leadership questions, where fear of exposure would otherwise soften the answers.

No, and it is best not to chase an external target. What counts as strong varies by industry, size, and how the survey is worded, so treat your first result as a baseline and focus on whether your own score improves over time. The open-text answers matter more than the raw number, since they tell you what to fix.
