    Could you explain what exactly “revenue per employee ratio” means? My thought would be that this is the value the average employee creates for the company minus the cost of employment per year, is that correct?

      Revenue is all the money the company makes, before any costs

      Revenue per employee is that amount divided by the number of employee

      The after costs amount would be profit per employee
