Employee Survey Core Competency Browser

Determining Core Score 

Each core competency included in your survey recieves a Core Score rating. The Advanced and Premium survey packages allow you to see the Core Score for a specific division, department, or demographic. Each Core Score is a mean analysis of the answers collected for that core competency. Basically, Core Score ratings are determined by assigning a value to each possible answer and then compiling these averages for a single core competency.

Positive Scale Question/Statements

Each Likert Scale core competency question included in the AlphaMeasure system is written to measure a positive scale response and this writing specification allows us to assign a score to each answer collected.

Examples:
I believe my team works well together.
Our organization operates in a professional and ethical manner.
I trust the decisions and actions of my team members.

Understanding that each statement measures against a positive response, AlphaMeasure assigns the following scores to each answer collected.

Core Score 
A
Percent:92.50%
Points:1850/2000

Scoring Table

Answer SelectionPointsDescription
Strongly Agree4This means the employee strongly agrees with this statement and believes the organization is exceeding expectations in relation to core competency item.
Agree3This means the employee agrees with the statement and believes the organization is on target in relation to this core competency item.
Neutral2This means the employee neither has negative or positive feelings regarding this item.
Disagree1This means the employee does not agree with the statement and believes the organization is below target in relation to this core competency item.
Strongly Disagree0This means the employee strongly disagrees with the statement and believes the organization is far below target in addressing this core competency item.

Calculating Core Score

AlphaMeasure uses the total answers collected for a core competency to determine the total points available. Assuming there are 5 Likert Scale questions to each core competency, if your survey collects responses from 100 participants the total answers collected for the core competency would be 500. Since we know the most points awarded per question is 4 (Strongly Agree), we would calculate the total points available for the core competency to be 2000.

In this example, AlphaMeasure would now compute how many points your organization earned out of the available 2000. The percentage returned determines your Core Score rating.

Important Notes Regarding Core Score

text_marker The total points available per core competency will increase as your survey collects more responses.

text_marker Small sample sizes can be significantly swayed by one or two employees. Therefore, larger sample sizes resulting in higher total points available is often a better indication of true employee opinion.

text_marker AlphaMeasure assigns a grade to each Core Score for quick reference, but ultimately it is up to you to decide what scores are acceptable within your organization.

Determining Core Score 

Every AlphaMeasure survey recieves a Base Score rating. The Advanced and Premium survey packages allow you to see the Base Score for a specific division, department, or demographic.

The Base Score is computed in the same fashion as your survey's Core Scores.

(Please reference the Determining Core Score paragraph above to understand how AlphaMeasure's grading methodolgy is calculated.)

However where a Core Score grades a single core competency, your Base Score is a mean analysis of the answers collected from the base question set and provide a more general rating of overall employee satisfaction and employee engagement levels.

The Advanced and Premuim survey package levels generate an Employee Engagement Score rating.

An Engagement Score is computed in the same fashion as your survey's Core Scores.

(Please reference the Determining Core Score paragraph above to understand how AlphaMeasure's grading methodolgy is calculated.)

Your Engagement Score is a mean analysis of the responses to the employee engagement question set included in your survey.
