Revenue Per Employee


Full Definition of Revenue Per Employee


Revenue Per Employee is an operating performance ratio that looks at a company’s sales/revenue in relation to the number of employees they have.

Industry and product-line characteristics will influence this indicator of employee productivity. Tracking this dollar figure historically and comparing it to peer-group companies will make this quantitative dollar amount more meaningful in an analytical sense.

Revenue per employee is also influenced by the age of a company. Young companies usually have small revenues and they are usually in the process of hiring employees to fill key positions.
