Each employee of Metro Cash & Carry, of German discount store chain Lidl, contributes almost RON1.5 milion to the revenue of their networks, double the industry average. Small store chain Profi and hypermarket chain Cora employees contribute the least, on the other hand.
On average, each of the 77,000 employees working for the ten modern retail networks in Romania contributed RON750,000 to last year’s industry revenue. Five companies have more efficient employees than average, while five are below this level.
The trend of this indicator, the revenue per employee, can be influenced by a number of factors, from the number of new store openings, the type of store retailers use and the number of employees per store, as well as their role.
There are about 3,000 stores under various formats (hypermarkets, supermarkets, cash & carry, convenience and discount) today, whose sales stand at some RON60 billion.(EUR1=RON4.7277)
