Enter the total number of employees who responded positively and the total number of employees who participated into the calculator to determine the Employee Satisfaction Index.

Employee Satisfaction Index Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Employee Satisfaction Index (ESI).

ESI = (TE / NE) * 100

Variables:

  • ESI is the Employee Satisfaction Index (%)
  • TE is the total number of employees who responded positively to the satisfaction survey
  • NE is the total number of employees who participated in the survey

To calculate the Employee Satisfaction Index, divide the total number of employees who responded positively to the satisfaction survey by the total number of employees who participated in the survey. Multiply the result by 100 to get the Employee Satisfaction Index in percentage.
