Overall 4 out of 22 Boards and 34% of Teams did not receive an iMatter report. This is a notable improvement from 2018 when 9 Boards and 38% of Teams did not receive an iMatter report.

EEI Score 
76

Employee Engagement Index Score (EEI)

The Employee Engagement Index (EEI) is calculated based on the number of responses for each point on the scale (Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree) multiplied by its number value (6 to 1).  These scores are added together and divided by the overall number of responses to give the score to show level of engagement.

The 2019 EEI Score for Health and Social Care is 76, an improvement of one point from the 2017 score. No EEI was published in 2018 as the response rate threshold was not achieved.
