Perhaps we should judge companies by profit per employee per hour and aim to increase that

Wouldn’t that be better than just valuation ?

It depends on the context. Many of Amazon or Tesla's workforces do low-skill work, and each employee isn't bringing in all that much revenue. For software-only companies, this could indeed be an intersting metric aside from just margins.
Depends entirely on the purpose for which you are judging them.
