Should employee surveys be anonymous?

For honest answers on satisfaction and management, yes. SurveyExtreme doesn't require respondents to log in, so shared survey links collect responses without identifying who answered.

Employee Net Promoter Score asks how likely employees are to recommend your company as a place to work, on a 0–10 scale. It's calculated like customer NPS: percentage of Promoters (9–10) minus percentage of Detractors (0–6).

How often should we survey employees?

Quarterly pulse surveys with a handful of questions outperform long annual surveys — they catch problems earlier and signal that feedback is an ongoing conversation, not a yearly ritual.
