Lattice Spring 2025 Product Release: Lattice Payroll, Succession Planning, Performance Improvement Plans, and More

Spring is just around the corner, and so is the launch of some of the most highly-requested Lattice products. This quarter, we are rolling out new and enhanced capabilities to help people teams unify HR operations, build strong leadership pipelines, support employee growth, and make smarter, data-driven decisions. 

New products including Lattice Payroll, Succession Planning, and Performance Improvement Plans will enable more successful people programs and elevate HR impact. 

‍Run Payroll, Manage Your Workforce, and Develop Talent — All In One Platform

Lattice Payroll lets you manage pay, people, and performance in one place. With all your employee data in a single system, you can effortlessly run accurate payroll, adapt every process to fit your business, and make it easy for HR and employees to drive individual and business performance.

‍Build a Stronger Leadership Pipeline with Succession Planning

Every organization needs a plan for the future. But too often, succession planning is reactive – happening in isolation and disconnected from the real performance data that should drive critical leadership decisions. When key roles become vacant, businesses scramble to identify successors, often relying on outdated or incomplete information. If leaders driving your most critical initiatives left today, would you be ready to fill the gap?

Lattice Succession Planning ensures you’re never caught off guard by leadership gaps. Proactively identify future leaders before key departures, reduce turnover risks, and build a leadership pipeline that drives long-term success.

Our Succession Planning product seamlessly integrates with performance data — like calibrated review scores — making it easier than ever to build a strategic, data-rich plan. With built-in fields for attrition risk, tenure, and succession readiness, HR leaders can quickly access the insights they need to make critical talent decisions with confidence.

Turn Performance Gaps Into Growth Opportunities with PIPs

Ensuring underperforming employees improve is essential for both individual growth and business success. Performance improvement plans (PIPs) play a key role in this process, providing support and continuous feedback to turn challenges into opportunities. Just as succession planning prepares your company for the future, an effective PIP process gives employees the support they need to succeed now.

The challenge? Most organizations lack the tools to implement a streamlined PIPs strategy, which leads to inconsistent and difficult-to-manage performance improvement processes that don’t work for employees, HR, or managers. 

Lattice Performance Improvement Plans will provide a clear, trackable framework to support employees while ensuring HR leaders and managers can create structured plans, set clear expectations and timelines, and document progress — all within Lattice.

With Lattice PIPs, you can:

• Create trackable improvement plans using your own PIPs templates to guide employees through performance challenges.
• Centralize all PIPs data with private and public progress tracking for managers, HR, and employees.
• Keep employees accountable with automated acknowledgment workflows.

‍Optimize Performance and Employee Engagement with Deeper Insights

With AI Review Summaries, participants in calibrations will be able to surface key themes from employee reviews, so that leaders can have informed conversations without spending hours reading review packets for employees outside of their team. Teams will have data to help identify performance patterns, spot trends, and make fair decisions — whether promoting top talent or providing additional support where needed. 

Additionally this quarter, we are enhancing our Engagement product with multi-select questions, skip logic, and the ability to export survey results directly into presentation-ready slides. This will give you more flexibility when creating surveys, a deeper understanding of employee sentiment, and more efficient ways to present results to your stakeholders.

Streamline Your Workflows with New Lattice HRIS Integrations 

Your HR tech stack should work seamlessly, not in silos. That’s why we’re expanding our Lattice HRIS ecosystem with new integrations that connect with your existing tools.

• Checkr – Automate background checks and view results directly within Lattice Onboarding.
