Methodology:
Using a seedlist from Fortune 500 and Share.com, we were able to look at the top performing companies revenue figures and compared this to their number of employees. By dividing the revenue figure by number of employees we were able to calculate how much each employee is worth.
In addition, each relevant company has been combined into an average to show average sector revenue per employee per sector. This has been completed with pivot tables, using “”Sector”” for rows and “”Revenue per Employee”” for Values, set to summarise by average.
