Today’s infographic shows revenue per employee of some of the world’s largest tech companies that are a part of the S&P 500.
Tapping into the properties of the digital world allows these companies to do more with less. They can have global reach with minimal infrastructure, massive scale with little overhead, and impressive revenues without any physical inventory.
Tech companies can even “provide” a service by simply connecting people through a platform, rather than knowing how to perform the service itself.
“Our Greatest Asset”
With this kind of scale, every action taken by an employee packs an extra punch to have an effect on company performance. It’s why companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are willing to pay an arm and a leg for the smartest engineers. These teams are not physically turning out widgets in a factory under the constraints of normal economic factors – instead, they are applying their brains to a codebase, and even the tiniest cost savings can add up when multiplied by millions of users.
