Exploring the Largest UK Employers: A Power BI Visualization

Understanding employment distribution among top companies can provide valuable insights into industry dominance and workforce trends. In this blog, I analyze the largest employers in the UK using a Power BI table visualization, sourced from CompaniesMarketCap.

Source: CompaniesMarketCap

Key Insights from the Data:

Compass Group leads the ranking with 550,000 employees, dominating the food service industry.

Tesco, the retail giant, follows with 330,000 employees.

HSBC, a major player in banking, employs over 215,000 people.

The total workforce among the top companies surpasses 1.98 million employees.

Visualizing in Power BI:

Using a table visualization, we can clearly compare the number of employees across different companies. Power BI’s sorting, aggregation, and filtering features enhance data readability and analysis. However, incorporating bar charts, conditional formatting, and KPIs could make the insights even more compelling.

What’s Next?

Would you add more interactive elements to this visualization? Share your thoughts and suggestions!
