While the Team Member Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is a powerful tool for gauging team member engagement, it shouldn’t be the only metric you rely on. Just like customer engagement, team member engagement is a multi-faceted concept that is best understood by looking at a variety of metrics. In this section, we’ll introduce two additional measures that complement eNPS: Team Member Satisfaction Score (TSS) and Team Member Effort Score (TES).

Measuring Team Member Engagement Beyond eNPS: Team Member Satisfaction Score (TSS)

Explanation: TSS measures the level of satisfaction that team members have with their overall work environment, tasks, and roles. Unlike eNPS, which gauges the likelihood of team members recommending the organization as a great place to work, TSS dives deeper into the elements that make up a team member’s work life.

Calculation: TSS is often calculated through a survey that asks team members to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 10 for various aspects of their job. These could include work-life balance, support from management, opportunities for career development, etc. The average score gives you the TSS. AFFINITY OS measures not only Team Engagement (eNPS), but also Team Member Satisfaction Score (TSS)

Importance in Team Member Experience Management: High TSS scores often indicate a positive work environment and strong team member engagement. Low scores can alert management to areas that need immediate attention, which can be targeted for improvement.

Measuring Team Member Engagement Beyond eNPS: Team Member Effort Score (TES)

Explanation: TES measures the ease with which team members can get their jobs done efficiently and effectively. This includes the availability of tools, support, and resources they need to complete their tasks.

Calculation: TES is calculated through a simple survey that asks team members to rate the level of effort required to perform their jobs, usually on a scale from ‘Very Difficult’ to ‘Very Easy’. The scores are then averaged out to get the TES. AFFINITY OS measures not only Team Engagement (eNPS), but also Team Member Effort Score (TES).

Importance in Team Member Experience Management: A high TES score means that team members feel they can perform their jobs with ease, which positively impacts their engagement levels. A low TES can be an indicator of obstacles or challenges in the work environment, warranting managerial intervention.

By using eNPS, TSS, and TES in conjunction, you can get a holistic view of team member engagement and experience. These metrics allow you to understand not just how your team feels about the organization, but also how well the organization is supporting them to be successful in their roles. And as the AFFINITY Formula suggests, team member engagement is the cornerstone for delivering great customer experiences and achieving sustainable financial results.
