Shell employees are worth more than those at Apple or Google, research finds

Tech companies are famous for the high salaries and bonuses potential candidates get when they join their firm. But the true value of the employee is actually much more, according to new research.

Focusing on the top 100 companies in the world by revenue and the number of employees they have, analysts at Expert Market have worked how much each employee is worth.

If each of these employees were paid what they were worth, there would be 1.1 million more millionaires in the world, the research showed.

Employees at Apple, recently named the most valuable brand in the world, would earn just over £1 million but the tech giant firm was not at the top brand of the list.

Expert Market worked out how much each employee was worth by dividing the revenue of a company by the number of employees and found the following:

 

Revenue: £317,433,952,550

Number of employees: 2,200

 

Revenue: £43,583,848,360
