All companies, whether large or small, have many different ways of measuring their success, though many primarily look at profit and revenue. To get an even better idea of which businesses are really getting the most out of their resources, Tipalti has taken a look at which of the world’s biggest companies are generating the most profit and losses per employee.

Doing so shows which companies are truly getting the best returns and which sectors have the most efficient employees.

The research conducted by Tipalti reveals the companies which are generating the biggest losses per employee, with companies such as Uber (NYSE:UBER), Wayfair (NYSE:W) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), all losing thousands of dollars in profit per employee. You can view the research in full here.

The team at Tipalti analysed data from the Fortune 500 list for some of the biggest companies in the world, and divided each company’s annual profits and revenue by their number of employees, to reveal the losses or profits, and revenue per employee.
