😆 Satisfaction survey
- Measurement of employee satisfaction by distributing standardized surveys among employees e.g. 15five, office vibe, culture amp.
- Most of the time these surveys are conducted quarterly or twice a year. Some companies start very early (from 20 employees onwards), while others claim that results are only representable from a sample of 50 people onwards.
eNPS
- In line with measuring customer loyalty, eNPS (employee Net Promoter Score) is used in employee surveys and is intended to measure employee loyalty. Thus, monitoring your company’s eNPS allows to gain a good understanding of how loyal and engaged your workforce is. The eNPS is based on a simple question e.g. “How likely are you to recommend us as a place to work for your family and friends?” - See Leapsome’s Playbook for a helpful overview: Link

Presentation of results
- Communicating the results of your employee satisfaction survey is extremely important to make employees feel valued and heard.
- Most of our portfolio companies present the results in an all-hands meeting. Either they conduct (1) “Ask me anything”-Sessions with the founders or (2) collect the questions upfront (sometimes even anonymously) and then answer them in the meeting.
