Using SurveyMars for Employee & NPS Surveys

Employee engagement surveys and Net Promoter Score (NPS) software are essential tools for measuring workforce satisfaction and customer loyalty. By leveraging platforms like SurveyMars, businesses can efficiently gather insights using Likert scale questions and NPS surveys. This guide will walk you through how to use SurveyMars to create, distribute, and analyze employee engagement and NPS surveys.
1. Understanding Key Survey Types
Before diving into SurveyMars, let’s clarify the core concepts:
Employee Engagement Survey: Measures how connected and motivated employees feel within an organization.
Net Promoter Score (NPS) Software: Assesses customer or employee loyalty by asking, "How likely are you to recommend our company to a friend or colleague?" (on a 010 scale).
Likert Scale: A psychometric scale (e.g., 15 or 17) used to gauge agreement levels (e.g., "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree").
SurveyMars supports all these survey types, making it a versatile tool for HR and customer experience teams.

2. Setting Up Your Survey in SurveyMars
Step 1: Log in and Choose a Template
Visit SurveyMars and log in.
Select a prebuilt employee engagement survey or NPS survey template.
Step 2: Customize Your Survey
For Employee Engagement Surveys:
Add Likert scale questions (e.g., "I feel valued at work" – Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree).
Include openended questions (e.g., "What could improve your work experience?").
For NPS Surveys:
Use the standard NPS question ("On a scale of 010, how likely are you to recommend us?").
Add followup questions for detractors (06) and promoters (910).
Step 3: Configure Survey Settings
Set anonymity options (critical for honest employee feedback).
Choose response deadlines and reminders.
3. Distributing Your Survey
SurveyMars offers multiple distribution methods:
Email Invitations: Send directly from SurveyMars to employees or customers.
Shareable Links: Embed in internal newsletters or Slack channels.
QR Codes: Useful for inperson feedback collection.
Best Practices for Higher Response Rates:
Keep surveys short (510 minutes max).
Explain the purpose and how feedback will be used.
Send reminders to nonresponders.
4. Analyzing Results
SurveyMars provides realtime dashboards to interpret data effectively.
For Employee Engagement Surveys:
Likert Scale Analysis: Check average scores per question to identify trends (e.g., low scores on "career growth opportunities").
Sentiment Analysis: Use openended responses to detect common themes.
For NPS Surveys:
Calculate Your NPS: % Promoters (910) – % Detractors (06).
Segment Feedback: Compare departments or customer segments.

5. Taking Action on Feedback
Surveys are useless without action. Use SurveyMars reports to:
Identify Priority Areas (e.g., improving worklife balance).
Share Insights with Leadership via PDF/PPT exports.
Track Progress by running followup surveys quarterly.
