Let's call the total number of employees T. We know that 17,100 is 22.1% of T, so we can set up the equation:

17,100 = 0.221 * T.

To solve for T, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.221:

17,100 / 0.221 = T.

T ≈ 77,374.65.

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the company has approximately 77,375 employees in total. Answer: \boxed{77,375}.
