One of the biggest paradoxes in organizations is this: leaders believe their employees are engaged, but the reality often tells a different story. Studies confirm there’s a consistent gap between management’s perception and employees’ actual experience. The natural question is: how can we accurately measure engagement?
Engagement isn’t just seen in results — it’s measured with the right tools and cultivated through consistent actions.
An organization that knows how engaged its employees truly are has the power to make better decisions, reduce risks, and increase long-term performance.
NPS – A simple but powerful indicator
A first step is using the Net Promoter Score (NPS), widely applied in customer experience but equally relevant in HR. The key question is: “How likely are you to recommend your organization as a workplace to a friend or colleague?”
The resulting score provides a clear picture: you have promoters (loyal and engaged employees), passives, or detractors (disengaged employees). A high NPS shows the organization succeeds in creating a healthy and motivating work environment.
Engagement Surveys – the mirror of the organization
More detailed than NPS, employee engagement surveys measure aspects such as:
-
levels of satisfaction and motivation,
-
trust in leadership,
-
perception of organizational culture,
-
quality of relationships between colleagues and managers.
Through structured questionnaires, anonymous surveys, or instant polls, these studies become a diagnosis of the organization’s state, highlighting both strengths and areas of vulnerability.
