What makes it special??

Why Pulse surveys?

Pulse surveys are short and frequent and do away with the system of tiresome annual surveys.

Do you check on your family and friends just once in a year? No, of course, since they are your biggest asset and support system. The same goes for your employees as they are your organization's best asset and most reliable support system.

It is essential to keep regular tabs on the employees’ feedback regarding the organization’s culture and policies. At times waiting for the annual survey results to fix an internal issue might be damaging to your company’s overall health and culture.

Also, pulse surveys are highly productive by keeping the surveys short and in an easy to respond format.

Check your Employee Loyalty Score

Frederick F. Reichheld, in his seminal article in Harvard Business Review, December 2003, (HBR - One number you need to grow) published one metric to measure customer loyalty called Net Promoter Score. Reichheld created a unique mechanism for measuring customer loyalty with one question on whether the customer would recommend a company’s product or service to friends thereby replacing the need for a more complex set of questions.

ELS is variant of Net Promoter Score, since here the focus is on employees instead of customers.

The Employee Loyalty Score (ELS) allows employers to measure and get an analytical insight into employee loyalty and engagement within their company. Employees answer how likely they would be recommending the company to their friends and relatives and the reasons for their suggested likelihood in the follow-up questions. All the responses are completely anonymous.

The question asked in ELS survey is -

“Based on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being lowest and 10 being highest, how would you recommend your organization as a place to work?”

According to their response, the employees are stacked in one of the three categories, namely - promoters, passives, and detractors.

  • Promoters (those who rated between 9 and 10) are the most loyal and content segment who are your most trusted ambassadors.
  • Passives (those who rated between 7 and 8) are those who are relatively neutral towards the values and spirit of the company. You should focus on shifting this segment to the Promoter's zone.
  • Detractors (those that rated between 0 and 6) are those who are least likely to recommend the company as they are not aligned with the values of the company, and it’s crucial to get to the bottom of why.

Also, Follow-up questions are asked to the users. They differ on the basis of the score given by the users.

  • Promoters: “What is the one thing we do well that we should continue to do?”
  • Passives: “What is the one thing we could do better to make you recommend us?”
  • Detractors: “What is the one thing that is holding you back from recommending us?”
