Understanding Engagement Score

What is Engagement Score?

Engagement Score measures user or employee involvement level. For content, it tracks likes, shares, comments. For HR, it measures satisfaction surveys.

  • Social media: (Interactions / Reach) x 100
  • Employee: Survey response averages
  • Product: Active users vs total users

The Formula

Engagement Calculation
Engagement % = (Engaged Users / Total Users) x 100

Worked Example

Scenario: Post reached 10,000 people, got 350 interactions.
Step 1: Interactions = 350
Step 2: Reach = 10,000
Step 3: (350 / 10000) x 100 = 3.5%
3.5% engagement rate - Good for social media!

Industry Benchmarks

  • Facebook: 0.5-1% is average

Pro Tips
