Formula
Step 1 — Weighted Average Score (WAS):
WAS = Σ (Scorei × Weighti)
Where each dimension score is rated 1–5 and multiplied by its assigned weight:
- Organizational Commitment — 15%
- Motivation & Enthusiasm — 15%
- Job Satisfaction — 12%
- Employee Advocacy / eNPS — 10%
- Strategic Alignment — 10%
- Growth & Development — 10%
- Recognition & Appreciation — 8%
- Wellbeing & Work-Life Balance — 8%
- Manager Effectiveness — 7%
- Team Collaboration & Culture — 5%
Step 2 — Normalize to 0–100% (Employee Engagement Score):
EES (%) = ((WAS − 1) / (5 − 1)) × 100
Engagement Tiers:
- ≥ 80% — Highly Engaged
- 65–79% — Moderately Engaged
- 50–64% — Partially Engaged
- 35–49% — Disengaged
- < 35% — Actively Disengaged
Assumptions & References
- Scores represent average survey responses from employees within a team, department, or organization on a Likert 1–5 scale.
- Dimension weights are based on research-backed engagement frameworks including Gallup Q12, Aon Hewitt's Say-Stay-Strive model, and Willis Towers Watson's engagement drivers.
- Commitment and Motivation are weighted highest (15% each) as they are the strongest predictors of discretionary effort and retention (Gallup, 2023).
- The normalization formula maps the 1–5 scale to a 0–100% range, where 1 = 0% and 5 = 100%.
- Industry benchmark: Gallup (2023) reports global employee engagement at ~23%; top-quartile organizations score above 70%.
- This calculator is intended for diagnostic and benchmarking purposes. Results should be supplemented with qualitative feedback and pulse surveys.
