How the Engagement Score Works

You rate 15 statements about your company on a five-point scale, three statements for each of the five dimensions engagement research keeps pointing at: recognition & appreciation, manager relationship, growth & development, voice & trust, and team connection. Each answer scores 0–4 points; the total is normalized to a 0–100 score, and each dimension gets its own sub-score so you can see exactly where engagement is leaking.

An honest caveat: this is a directional pulse, not a validated psychometric instrument. It won't replace a proper survey program — for that, start with our 40 employee engagement survey questions — but it will tell you in three minutes which of the five dimensions deserves your attention first, and that's the decision that actually matters.

Why the manager and recognition dimensions carry so much weight: Gallup attributes roughly 70% of the variance in team engagement to the manager, and Gallup and Workhuman found employees who don't feel adequately recognized are about twice as likely to say they'll quit within a year.

What To Do With Your Score

Whatever your total, the per-dimension breakdown is the actionable part. A 72 with recognition at 40 and everything else at 80 isn't a "72 company" — it's a company one fix away from an 80. Your results include tailored recommendations for your two weakest dimensions, each linking to a practical guide. If recognition is the gap, that's the one we know best: Deloitte's research links strong recognition cultures to up to 31% lower voluntary turnover, and it's the fastest dimension to move — teams see a visible difference in weeks, not quarters. (Full disclosure: recognition is also what Propsly does, so weigh our enthusiasm accordingly.)

Engagement problems also have a price tag you can estimate: run your headcount through our employee turnover cost calculator to see what the status quo costs per year, or read the broader playbook in 7 strategies for employee engagement that actually work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good employee engagement score?

On this quiz: 80+ means engagement is a genuine strength (Thriving), 60–79 is solid with room to improve (Steady), 40–59 means engagement is leaking somewhere specific (Drifting), and below 40 signals systemic problems (At Risk). Most teams land in Steady.

How is the score calculated?

15 statements rated 0–4, totaled out of 60 and normalized to 0–100, with a sub-score per dimension. All scoring happens in your browser.

What dimensions does it measure?

Recognition & appreciation, manager relationship, growth & development, voice & trust, and team connection — three questions each.

How long does it take?

About 3 minutes — 15 questions, one click each, instant results.

Is it free and anonymous?

Yes. No sign-up, no email, and answers never leave your browser. A shared results link encodes the answers in the link itself — nothing is stored on our servers.

How often should we re-assess?

Quarterly works well for a pulse like this. If you change something — like launching a recognition program — retake it after a full quarter and watch the relevant dimension.

Scored low on recognition?

That's the fastest dimension to fix. Propsly adds peer recognition to Slack — /props, a public feed, leaderboards — free for unlimited users. Most teams feel the difference in two weeks.
