The ultimate relationship thermometer

Many managers track eNPS ^{1Employee Net Promoter Score — employee advocacy for the company.} and run similar manager-focused pulse surveys. For this post, let’s call the latter mNPS ^{2Loyalty to management.}.

But what if you applied the same approach to your personal life, your friendships, or anything else? Meet wNPS ^{3Whatever — loyalty to whatever you like.}.

Try asking your partner or your friends regularly:

On a scale of 0 to 10, how satisfied are you with our relationship, and how likely would you be to recommend me as a partner or friend?

If your rating starts to fall, it’s time to improve your “loyalty program.”
