In the competitive landscape, businesses are relentlessly seeking that elusive edge, a secret sauce that propels them beyond mere survival to thriving dominance. The Net Promoter Score (NPS) has been that yardstick, measuring customer loyalty and predicting firm performance with a single number. But what if we could deepen its impact, by integrating an often-overlooked dimension of success – the engagement and well-being of those behind the scenes, the employees? (As a side note, we prefer to call employees “team members”). 

AFFINITY OS, an advanced AI-driven platform, emerges as the pioneer in marrying team member engagement and well-being (eNPS) with NPS, optimizing firm performance with what we term the AFFINITY INDEX.

The Evolution of NPS

NPS has traditionally centered around customers. Yet, a firm’s success is not just a tale of customer satisfaction; it’s equally about the well-being and engagement of its team members. A high eNPS indicates team members who are not just satisfied but are well and engaged, serving as enthusiastic ambassadors of their company’s brand.
