Net Promoter Score (NPS) Calculator

Understanding NPS Formula

NPS = % Promoters - % Detractors

Formula Components:

  1. Promoters (9-10)

    Calculate % of Promoters = (Number of 9-10 responses ÷ Total responses) × 100

  2. Passives (7-8)

    Not used in final calculation but included in total responses

  3. Detractors (0-6)

    Calculate % of Detractors = (Number of 0-6 responses ÷ Total responses) × 100

Example Calculation:

Let's say you have:

  • 150 Promoters (9-10)
  • 80 Passives (7-8)
  • 70 Detractors (0-6)
  • Total: 300 responses

Step 1: Calculate % of Promoters

150 ÷ 300 × 100 = 50% Promoters

Step 2: Calculate % of Detractors

70 ÷ 300 × 100 = 23.33% Detractors

Step 3: Calculate NPS

50% - 23.33% = +26.67

Round to nearest whole number: NPS = +27

Important Notes:

  • NPS ranges from -100 to +100
  • Positive score means more promoters than detractors
  • Negative score means more detractors than promoters
  • Final score is expressed as a whole number
  • Passives impact the percentage base but not the final calculation

Dealing with Manipulative Coworkers: Insights and Solutions

Dealing with Manipulative Coworkers: Insights and Solutions

Manipulative coworkers can significantly disrupt the workplace, creating an environment where trust, collaboration, and individual well-being are compromised. These individuals often use deceitful and underhanded tactics to gain power, control, or achieve personal goals at the expense of their colleagues. Manipulation manifests in various forms, including psychological pressure, behavioural exploitation, and emotional manipulation. Psychological tactics like instilling fear about job security, sowing self-doubt, or leveraging feelings of obligation can undermine a person’s confidence and decision-making abilities. Behaviorally, manipulators often shift blame, take credit for others’ efforts, and spread rumours to harm reputations and maintain dominance. Emotional manipulation, marked by inducing guilt, shame, or anxiety, further complicates workplace interactions, leaving victims feeling powerless and distressed.

Manipulative Tactic Description Solution
Guilt-tripping Using guilt to compel you into doing something, often by making you feel responsible for their problems. Set clear boundaries and politely decline requests that make you uncomfortable. Respond with, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t help with that.’
Gaslighting Making you doubt your memory, perception, or sanity by denying facts or events. Document interactions and rely on factual evidence. Firmly assert, ‘I remember this differently. Let’s verify the facts.’
Shifting Blame Avoiding responsibility by blaming you for their mistakes or failures. Stick to facts and clearly outline your role and contributions. Respond with, ‘Here’s what I did, and here’s where the issue originated.’
Taking Credit for Work Claiming your ideas or achievements as their own. Keep a documented record of your contributions and share them directly with supervisors or in team settings.
Spreading Rumors Disseminating false or damaging information about you or others to harm reputations. Avoid engaging with gossip and address rumors with facts. Politely correct misinformation with, ‘Actually, here’s the truth.’
Playing the Victim Portraying themselves as unfairly treated to gain sympathy and support. Recognize the behavior and avoid taking responsibility for their feelings. Respond neutrally, ‘I’m sorry you feel that way.’
Creating Unnecessary Pressure Forcing you to make decisions or complete tasks under unrealistic deadlines. Stay calm and ask for clarification or more time. Say, ‘I need to review this further before making a decision.’
Exploiting Favors Reminding you of past help to manipulate you into doing something for them. Politely set limits by acknowledging their help but stating your boundaries: ‘I appreciate your help, but I can’t commit to this.’
Withholding Information Intentionally keeping you uninformed to sabotage your performance or decision-making. Ask direct questions and insist on transparency: ‘Can you provide the details I need to move forward effectively?’
Inducing Fear Threatening job security or other negative consequences to manipulate your actions. Remain confident and seek clarification from superiors or HR: ‘I want to confirm my standing on this matter with management.’
Criticizing Unfairly Constantly pointing out flaws to undermine your confidence. Accept constructive feedback, but challenge baseless criticism: ‘Could you provide specific examples and suggestions for improvement?’
Isolating You Excluding you from important meetings or discussions to limit your influence. Proactively engage with the team and seek clarification on decisions: ‘I noticed I wasn’t included; how can I contribute?’
Using Flattery Overpraising you to gain your trust or compliance for their benefit. Accept compliments graciously but evaluate their motives critically. Respond neutrally, ‘Thank you, but let’s focus on the task.’
Feigning Helplessness Pretending they can’t complete tasks to offload work onto you. Encourage independence: ‘I can show you how to do it this time, but I won’t be able to do it for you in the future.’
Overloading with Work Assigning excessive tasks to overwhelm you, ensuring you can’t focus on other responsibilities. Prioritize tasks and communicate limits: ‘I’ll focus on these tasks first. Can we reassess the rest later?’
Emotional Outbursts Using anger or tears to intimidate or distract from an issue. Stay calm and avoid reacting emotionally. Suggest discussing the matter later: ‘Let’s revisit this once we’re both calm.’
Offering One-Sided ‘Deals’ Proposing agreements that heavily favor them while disguising it as mutual benefit. Assess deals critically and negotiate for fairness: ‘This doesn’t seem balanced; let’s discuss a more equitable solution.’
Threatening Relationships Suggesting that refusing their requests will harm your working relationship. Reaffirm professional boundaries: ‘Our work relationship is important to me, but I need to maintain balance in my workload.’

Manipulating a manipulator requires strategy, patience, and a deep understanding of human nature. Drawing inspiration from Machiavelli’s principles in The Prince, this approach is not about engaging in outright confrontation but about using calculated tactics to outmaneuver and control the situation. By studying the manipulator’s behavior and motivations, you can predict their moves and develop a tailored strategy. Observing how they interact with others and identifying their goals allows you to stay one step ahead, ensuring that your actions remain precise and effective. Anticipation is key; knowing what they will do before they act is a powerful way to maintain control.

Exploiting a manipulator’s weaknesses is an essential element of this strategy. Every manipulator has vulnerabilities—whether it’s insecurity, a desire for validation, or a fear of exposure. By identifying these weaknesses, you can subtly use them to influence their behavior. If they thrive on praise, offering selective compliments can earn their trust, positioning you to steer their actions in your favor. On the other hand, if they fear being exposed, hinting at your awareness of their tactics can keep them in check without direct confrontation. This delicate balance of leverage requires a keen understanding of their psyche and careful execution.

One of the most effective ways to manage a manipulator is by playing the long game. This involves appearing to align with them while subtly undermining their efforts. Present yourself as cooperative and supportive, but use this position to gather information or redirect outcomes to your advantage. By maintaining this facade of loyalty, you gain access to their plans and strategies, allowing you to anticipate their next moves and neutralize their efforts before they succeed. Machiavelli’s wisdom reminds us that appearances can be more powerful than actions, and maintaining the right image while working behind the scenes is a hallmark of this approach.

Controlling the flow of information is another crucial aspect. Manipulators often rely on misinformation to gain the upper hand, and countering this requires you to limit what they know about your plans and intentions. Share selective or incomplete details, ensuring that they act in ways that inadvertently serve your interests. Simultaneously, stay vigilant and document their actions, creating a factual record that can be used to discredit them if needed. This combination of secrecy and documentation ensures that you remain in control while protecting yourself from potential retaliation.

Dividing and isolating a manipulator from their allies can further weaken their influence. By subtly highlighting their questionable behavior to others, you can foster distrust within the group without appearing confrontational. This tactic requires subtlety and finesse, as the goal is to let others see the manipulator’s true nature while maintaining your position as a neutral or supportive colleague. When executed effectively, this approach erodes the manipulator’s power base, leaving them isolated and less capable of causing harm.

Maintaining an air of unpredictability is another powerful strategy. Manipulators thrive on understanding and exploiting predictable patterns, so keeping them guessing about your intentions and responses can disrupt their tactics. By alternating between cooperation and distance, you create an environment where they cannot easily anticipate your actions, reducing their ability to manipulate you. This unpredictability, combined with calculated strength, reinforces your position and discourages further attempts to exploit you.

How to recognize a master manipulator | Dan Jones | TEDxReno

When the time is right, exposing the manipulator strategically can be an effective way to neutralize their influence. This should never be done impulsively; instead, gather evidence and wait for the moment when revealing their behavior will have the most impact. Whether presenting the information to higher-ups or addressing it in a team setting, timing and delivery are critical. The goal is not to humiliate but to ensure that their credibility is questioned, shifting the balance of power in your favor.

Flattery, often underestimated, can be a subtle yet powerful weapon. Offering calculated compliments can make the manipulator overconfident, lowering their guard and making them more prone to mistakes. This tactic requires precision, as overuse or insincerity can backfire. When used judiciously, flattery can create opportunities to influence their behavior while reinforcing your position as someone they trust.

Throughout this process, maintaining a strong public image is vital. Cultivating goodwill and alliances with others in the workplace not only shields you from the manipulator’s tactics but also strengthens your reputation. Demonstrating competence, fairness, and reliability ensures that your colleagues view you as a trustworthy and valuable team member. This not only reinforces your position but also makes it more difficult for the manipulator to undermine you.

Manipulating a manipulator in Machiavellian style requires subtlety, strategy, and control. It is not about becoming like them but about outthinking and outmaneuvering them to protect your position and well-being. By understanding their motives, exploiting their weaknesses, and carefully crafting your responses, you can turn the tables and reclaim control of the situation while maintaining your integrity.

কেন আপনার সিভি বাদ পড়ে যায়? – ATS সফটওয়্যারের প্রভাব ও উত্তরণের পথ

কেন আপনার সিভি বাদ পড়ে যায়? – ATS সফটওয়্যারের প্রভাব ও উত্তরণের পথ

যে কারণে আপনার সিভি বাদ পড়ে যায়!

বেশিরভাগ রিক্রুটার এখন ATS (Applicant Tracking System) সফটওয়্যার ব্যবহার করেন, যা স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে সিভি স্ক্যান করে এবং নির্দিষ্ট কি-ওয়ার্ড বা প্রয়োজনীয় যোগ্যতা খুঁজে না পেলে সেগুলোকে বাদ দিয়ে দেয়। যদি সিভিতে কাজের বিবরণ বা দক্ষতাগুলোতে পদের জন্য নির্ধারিত কি-ওয়ার্ড ঠিকভাবে না থাকে, তবে ATS সফটওয়্যার সেটি রিক্রুটারের কাছে পৌঁছানোর আগেই বাদ দিয়ে দেয়। ভুল ফরম্যাটিং, ছবি বা গ্রাফিক্স ব্যবহারের কারণেও সিভি ATS সফটওয়্যার দ্বারা সঠিকভাবে স্ক্যান করা যায় না, ফলে যোগ্যতা থাকা সত্ত্বেও অনেক প্রার্থী বাদ পড়ে। এজন্য পদের সাথে মিল রেখে সিভিতে প্রাসঙ্গিক কি-ওয়ার্ড যুক্ত রাখা ও সহজ ফরম্যাট ব্যবহার করা গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।

ATS কি?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) একটি সফটওয়্যার, যা নিয়োগ প্রক্রিয়াকে সহজ এবং স্বয়ংক্রিয় করে। এটি প্রার্থীদের আবেদন সংগ্রহ, স্ক্রিনিং এবং শর্ট লিস্টিং-এর জন্য ব্যবহৃত হয়। ATS মূলত কিওয়ার্ড ও নির্দিষ্ট মানদণ্ডের ভিত্তিতে আবেদনগুলিকে ফিল্টার করে, প্রার্থীর রিজ্যুম স্ক্যান করে এবং চাকরির প্রয়োজনীয়তার সাথে মিলে যায় এমন প্রার্থী বাছাইয়ে সহায়তা করে। ফলে নিয়োগকর্তারা দ্রুত ও কার্যকরভাবে প্রার্থীদের মূল্যায়ন করতে সক্ষম হন।

একটি বড় কোম্পানি “Human Resources Manager” পদে নিয়োগের জন্য ATS (Applicant Tracking System) ব্যবহার করছে। এই পদের জন্য প্রার্থীর অবশ্যই নির্দিষ্ট দক্ষতা এবং অভিজ্ঞতা থাকতে হবে, যেমন “Employee Relations,” “Performance Management,” এবং “5 বছরের অভিজ্ঞতা।” ATS সিস্টেমে এই যোগ্যতা ও কিওয়ার্ডগুলো আগে থেকেই প্রোগ্রাম করে দেওয়া হয়।

যখন প্রার্থীরা তাদের আবেদনপত্র ও রিজ্যুম জমা দেন, ATS তাদের আবেদনগুলো স্ক্যান করে। সিস্টেমটি প্রতিটি রিজ্যুমে নির্দিষ্ট কিওয়ার্ড খুঁজে দেখে এবং সেই অনুযায়ী প্রার্থীদের শর্টলিস্ট করে। ফলে, যদি একটি রিজ্যুমে “Employee Relations” বা “5 বছরের অভিজ্ঞতা” না থাকে, তবে সেটি স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে বাদ পড়ে যাবে। অন্যদিকে, প্রয়োজনীয় কিওয়ার্ডগুলো থাকা প্রার্থীদের আবেদনগুলো একটি শর্টলিস্টে চলে আসে।

এটি কোম্পানির নিয়োগকারী দলের জন্য খুবই সহায়ক, কারণ তারা সহজেই অনেক আবেদনপত্রের মধ্যে থেকে যোগ্য প্রার্থীদের তালিকা পেয়ে যান। পরে, নিয়োগকারীরা এই শর্টলিস্ট করা প্রার্থীদের রিজ্যুম আরও বিস্তারিতভাবে দেখতে পারেন এবং ইন্টারভিউয়ের জন্য ডাকতে পারেন। এর ফলে পুরো নিয়োগ প্রক্রিয়া দ্রুত, দক্ষ এবং নির্ভুলভাবে সম্পন্ন হয়।

Overleaf ব্যবহার করে LaTeX দিয়ে ATS-সহায়ক সিভি তৈরি: একটি নির্দেশিকা

Unleashing HR’s Power to Transform Workplace Wellbeing

Unleashing HR’s Power to Transform Workplace Wellbeing

The Strategic Importance of Mental Wellbeing

 

Mental well-being is more than a personal issue; it is a critical business priority that influences productivity, engagement, and organizational health. HR professionals play a vital role in addressing mental well-being as a strategic initiative by: 

  1. Assessing Organizational Needs: Evaluating the unique mental health challenges within the organization is essential. This may involve using surveys, focus groups, and analytics to gain insights.
  2. Tailoring Wellbeing Programs: Based on the assessment, HR can create targeted programs to address specific needs, including stress management workshops, resilience training, and mental health awareness initiatives.
  3. Embedding Wellbeing into Corporate Culture: HR should work to integrate mental well-being into core values and daily practices, securing leadership support and active participation from executives.

Practical Steps for HR to Promote Mental Wellbeing

 To foster a culture that supports mental well-being, HR departments can: 

  • Leadership Training: Equip leaders to recognize mental distress and support team members effectively.
  • Confidential Communication Channels: Establish safe, stigma-free channels for employees to discuss mental health concerns. 
  • Wellbeing Champions: Appoint champions within the organization to advocate for mental health initiatives and provide peer support.
  • Regular Check-Ins: Implement consistent check-ins with employees to discuss workload, stress, and overall well-being. 
  • Flexible Work Arrangements: Promote flexibility to help employees manage work-life balance and reduce stress.
  • Recognition and Rewards: Acknowledge individual and team efforts to maintain and improve mental well-being.

Measuring the Impact of Wellbeing Initiatives

To track the effectiveness of mental well-being initiatives, HR should:

  • Set Clear Metrics: Define measurable goals to evaluate mental well-being success.
  • Monitor Progress: Regularly assess the impact of well-being programs on satisfaction, retention, and performance.
  • Adjust Strategies: Be prepared to adjust initiatives based on feedback to continuously improve well-being offerings.

Challenges and Considerations

While essential, promoting mental well-being comes with challenges:

  • Resource Allocation: Securing sufficient resources for mental health initiatives can be difficult, especially with budget constraints.
  • Cultural Resistance: Overcoming resistance, particularly in environments where mental health is stigmatized, requires persistence.
  • Personalization: Recognizing that well-being needs vary and designing programs that cater to diverse requirements.

In summary, HR’s role in mental well-being is multifaceted, requiring a strategic, empathetic, and proactive approach. By prioritizing mental health, HR contributes to a resilient, productive, and engaged workforce. This journey is ongoing, with HR walking alongside employees, offering support at every step.
