PDL - Data Enhancements and Updates
8 days ago by Nolan Peters
People Data Labs has recently launched new Company Insights fields as a part of the Company Data. These new Company Data fields are currently in beta but still accessible in new tables on Dewey.
These new fields are listed below and are accessible by tables of the same name:
| Field | Short Description |
|---|---|
top_next_employers | The top ten companies employees moved to, and how many employees moved there, across all time periods |
top_previous_employers | The top ten previous companies employees worked for previously, and how many current employees were previously employed by them, across all time periods |
top_next_employers_12_month | The top ten next employers, counting only employee changes within the last 12 months |
top_previous_employers_12_month | The top ten previous employers, counting only employee changes within the last 12 months |
employee_count_by_sub_role | The number of current employees broken down by Job Title Sub Role. |
employee_growth_rate_12_month_by_sub_role | The twelve month rate of change by Job Title Sub Role |
employee_count_by_class | The number of current employees broken down by Job Title Class |
employee_growth_rate_12_month_by_class | The twelve month rate of change by Job Title Class |
These new fields offer:
- Better Classification Support: Headcount metrics are now broken down using our new Job Title Class and Job Sub Role taxonomies, providing more granularity and flexibility in workforce analysis.
- Time-Bound Talent Flow Summaries: New 12-month versions of the Top Previous and Top Next Employers fields allow you to isolate and analyze recent employee movements, giving a sharper view of current hiring and attrition trends.
- Improved Data Readability: All Top Employers summaries now include displayable company names, making analysis clearer and the data more presentation-ready.
As a part of this change, People Data Labs is depreciating the following fields and are now considered legacy:
top_next_employers_by_roletop_previous_employers_by_role
These fields will be removed in July 2025, both will be available on Dewey until that time.
