Simple And Actionable Engagement Metrics

You cannot improve retention without measurement. However, overly complex surveys often go unanswered.

SIMPLE FRAMEWORK: 5 QUARTERLY QUESTIONS.

Our framework uses five concise questions, asked quarterly.

• Scale 1-10: "How likely would you recommend working here?" (eNPS - Employee Net Promoter).

• Scale 1-10: "How clear is your growth path next 12 months?" (Career clarity).

• Scale 1-10: "How valued do you feel your contributions are?" (Recognition).

• Scale 1-10: "How much are you learning and growing in your role?" (Development).

• Open: "What ONE thing would you change?" (Action item).

Implementation:

The survey is anonymous, takes two minutes to complete, and is conducted quarterly. Results are shared transparently with the team.

Key Action:

Identify scores below 7, discuss them in one-on-one meetings, and take action within 30 days or communicate any constraints. Track changes each quarter.

Key Metric to Monitor:

If a high performer’s score drops by two or more points on any question from one quarter to the next, treat this as a red flag and schedule a stay interview immediately.
