Voice of the Force is GovMetric’s employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) solution for policing. It measures staff engagement, morale, and organisational culture, giving forces insight into how their workforce feels and performs.
Employee satisfaction directly affects service delivery. By listening to officers and staff, forces can strengthen culture, improve retention, reduce absenteeism, and meet HMICFRS expectations for workforce wellbeing.
Forces gain:
• Clear visibility of workforce morale and cultural health
• Evidence for inspection regimes
• Reduced turnover and absenteeism
• Stronger organisational resilience
• Improved citizen outcomes through a motivated workforce
Feedback is gathered through regular short surveys delivered via secure links (SMS, email, intranet, QR codes). Surveys are quick to complete and can be scheduled quarterly, annually, or after key events.
At its core, Voice of the Force asks the standard eNPS question:
“How likely are you to recommend this force as a place to work?”
Beyond that, surveys can include a wide range of engagement and culture drivers such as:
- Leadership & management – clarity of direction, trust, visibility, and support.
- Wellbeing & resilience – workload balance, access to support, and overall mental health.
- Fairness & inclusion – perceptions of equity, respect, and diversity within the force.
- Communication & voice – whether officers and staff feel listened to and informed.
- Learning & development – opportunities for progression, training, and skill growth.
- Pride & purpose – sense of meaning in the role and contribution to policing outcomes.
- Team cohesion – collaboration, peer support, and quality of line management.
This approach ensures the headline eNPS score can be benchmarked over time and across forces, while the additional questions provide diagnostic insight into why employees feel as they do and where leaders should take action.
Results are presented as an eNPS score (promoters minus detractors), alongside dashboards that break down feedback by rank, department, or region. Trends over time help leaders monitor cultural shifts and improvement areas.
