(KN)
The number of employees shows how many people work for a business larger business usually have more workers than smaller ones.
(APP)
For example NESTLE PAKISTAN Ltd employs thousands of workers across the country while a small bakery in lahore may only have five employees.
(AN)
This means businesses with more employees are likely to produce on a larger scale and earn higher revenue so the number of employees can be used as one way to measure business size.

[Abdur Rehman khan]

[KN] The number of employees shows how big a business is by indicating its workforce.
[APP] For example, a multinational like Toyota employs thousands of workers, whereas a local bakery may only employ a small staff.
[AN] This shows that a larger workforce allows faster and larger processes and higher production capacity with more organisational layers compared to a small business.

[Naveen fatima]

[KN] One way to measure the size of a business is by looking at the number of employees it has.
[APP]For example, a small bakery might have only 5 employees, while a large supermarket chain could have thousands.
[AN] A business with more employees is usually seen as larger because it needs more workers to handle higher production, more customers or wider operations. Having many employees also shows the business likely has more departments and a bigger management structure, meaning it operates on a much larger scale.

[Fatima ibtehaj]

[KN]It can be used by looking at the number of employees in an organization.
[APP]For example, a large manufacturing company like Toyota employs thousands of workers in its factories and offices around the world, while a small local car repair shop may only have 5 or 6 employees. The number of employees clearly shows that Toyota is a much larger business.
[AN]Hence using number of employees can help to understand the scale of operations which can help the business to produce more goods and services hence increasing chances of creating unique products which will lead towards a rise in consumer base.This will also help to develop brand image

[Aarib Saad]

(KN)The number of employees indicates how much the output of the business is.
(APP)For instance, "Nike" is one of the biggest shoe producer in the world and this size is shown by the fact that it hires thousands of workers for the production of it's shoes.
(AN)Thus, allowing the business to focus more on the quality of it's products as trained workers will pay extra attention to shoe designs, which will in turn create a positive brand image for high quality products, leading to more customers being attracted to the business, so higher market share.

[Abdullah Baig]

Kn
The number of employees can be used to measure business size because larger businesses normally need more workers to operate
App
For example a car manufacturing company may employ thousands of workers while a small car repair shop may only have a few showing that more employees are needed to handle larger production and management tasks which reflects the overall scale of the business
An
Therefore a higher number of employees indicates greater capacity, resources, and market presence, showing the business is operating on a larger scale.

[Abdullah Altaf]

[KN] The higher number of employees the larger the business is.
[APP]For example, a global electronics company like Samsung might employ hundreds of people worldwide, whereas a local corner shop might only have a few employees.
[AN] Therefore, the number of employees directly correlates with the scale of operations, indicating greater production capacity, market reach, and overall business size.

[Arham Qadri]

[KN] Greater the number of employees greater the size of business.
[APP] For example GlaxoSmithKline has over 100,000 employees.
[AN] Hence due to higher number of employees there will be greater production capacity, it will reduce delays in making a product and will create loyalty with customers which will improve the business image.

[Haiderabbas]

KN: The n number of employeess measures business size by showing how many people the firm employs, more workers usually mean bigger operations, more output and greater resources.

[hassanalizafar]

[KN]The number of employees is a common measure of business size as larger labour intensive firms usually need more workers to manage production,marketing and distribution.
