Your WorkScore is a number between 0 and 100, calculated from ratings submitted by your verified coworkers. It isn't a simple average. It's designed to distinguish between coworkers who would genuinely vouch for you and those who wouldn't.
The rating scale
Coworkers rate you on a scale of 0 to 10. Those ratings fall into three categories:
- Promoters: scores of 9 or 10. Coworkers who would strongly vouch for you.
- Neutrals: scores of 7 or 8. Coworkers with a positive but not strong view.
- Detractors: scores of 0 to 6. Coworkers who would not actively recommend you.
The formula
WorkScore is derived from the Net Promoter Score methodology, a widely used standard for measuring advocacy. The percentage of Detractors is subtracted from the percentage of Promoters, producing a raw score between -100 and 100. That result is then shifted to a 0–100 scale:
WorkScore = (% Promoters − % Detractors + 100) ÷ 2
A score of 50 is neutral. Scores above 50 reflect more Promoters than Detractors. Scores below 50 reflect the opposite.
When will I see my score?
Your WorkScore appears on your My WorkScore page as soon as your first rating comes in, along with how many ratings it's based on and each rating you've received. Until then, your My WorkScore page shows how to request ratings to get things moving.
The more ratings you receive, the more confidence anyone viewing your score can have in it. At 10 ratings received, your score reaches the Highly credible milestone.
Sharing your score unlocks once you've received 5 ratings and recognized 5 coworkers. See How do I share my WorkScore?
