The benefit of understanding duration
Knowing whether a few people are consistently in problematic strain or whether it's different people from survey to survey can make a huge difference. That's exactly what the duration charts explain.
If you know some people are repeatedly in problematic strain you have a change to help them before they end up on prolonged sick leave.
On the other hand it's normal to have some people in problematic strain but it should not be the same people over and over again as that will have consequences.
How to read the charts
Below is an example of the Problematic strain duration table as well as the Detractor duration table.
Assessing strain duration
To make it tangible, we will assess the results from May:
59 of the employees, who answered the survey in May, did not have problematic strain levels. That's positive.
2 people, who did not previously record problematic strain levels, recorded problematic strain levels for the first straight survey.
One person has sadly recorded problematic strain levels for the past 3 surveys in a row.
We can indirectly infer that the person who was strained in April continued to be so in May (moving from being strained for 2 straight surveys to 3).
If you are unaware of the levels relating to problematic strain, here is a guide.
While maintaining anonymity we can help you understand your data to allow you to better tackle situation in your organization and lift well-being.
Assessing detractor duration
To make it tangible, we will assess the results from May:
55 people were either a passive or a promoter (i.e. not a detractor).
2 people, who were not previously detractors, was a detractor this month.
1 person, who was also a detractor in the last survey, continued as a detractor.
4 people have been detractors for 3 or more straight surveys. This indicates that a small group of people are consistently not likely to recommend the workplace.
If you are unaware of the question or the scores that result in people being a promoter, passive or detractor you can learn more about eNPS in this guide.
