May 2025 Product Updates: Smoother Reviews, Sharper Goals, Ethena Integration, and More

It’s been a busy month at Lattice, and we’re excited to share what’s new. In May, we rolled out updates across the platform to help teams set goals more easily, complete reviews faster, and navigate with more ease.

Let’s dive in!

Meet your always-on teammate: the Lattice AI Agent

The future of HR isn’t just faster — it’s smarter, more human, and more impactful. The Lattice AI Agent is your always-on teammate built to answer employee questions. Today, HR teams spend 57% of their time on manual tasks. 

The Lattice AI Agent changes that. It automates repetitive HR questions without losing the human touch, giving employees instant, personalized answers to questions, like "How do I update my direct deposit?" or "What's our parental leave policy?" all grounded in your company's policies and systems. Soon, the Agent will surface real insights and coach managers and employees in real time. 

The Agent is fully embedded into the Lattice platform, helping teams get more done with less stress. As one customer put it: “It’s like we hired a full-time HR admin overnight—without the headcount.” 

The Lattice AI Agent is available to try for free until June 2026 for a limited time.

The Lattice AI Writing Assist just got smarter

Your voice matters when we build Lattice products! We received tons of feedback from customers about how we could make our AI Writing Assist easier to use and more helpful. Now live in Feedback, Updates, and Reviews, the enhanced Writing Assist lets you choose the type of support you need, from grammar fixes to tone adjustments to overall polish. 

You’ll see every change with clear before-and-after views, so you can tweak, approve, or skip. It’s AI that works with you, not around you.‍

Complete Reviews and Calibration with Ease 

We introduced several updates this month to streamline performance workflows. In calibrations, facilitators can now bulk-accept manager ratings — no more clicking through entries one by one or relying on workarounds. On the reviews side, we launched the first in a series of improvements to the form experience, all designed to help teams complete evaluations faster and with less friction:

• Admins can now reorder and group Goals and Competencies to streamline layout.
• Multiple goals and competencies are now grouped under a single question defined in the template, making it easier to read the form. 
• Users can access full competency descriptions and goal details directly from the context panel.

Together, these releases make it easier and more efficient for HR leaders to complete reviews and calibrations, so they can spend less time on manual work and more time on meaningful people strategies.

Continuing to Enhance Lattice Goals

This month’s enhancements to Goals focus on making it easier to manage and replicate goals across your organization. Admins can now grant duplication permissions to managers and department heads, and users can duplicate a parent goal along with its child goals in one step.

We’ve also made the goal-setting experience more intuitive with a round of UX improvements:

• Filter between Objectives and Key Results when aligning to parent goals
• Sort goals in Cascade View by title, due date, last updated, and status
• Expand all goals at once in Cascade View for easier navigation
• Use new filters on Participation and Status pages for more consistency
• Benefit from cleaner settings and simplified reminder options 

Stay tuned for more Goals updates throughout the year!

Get More from Lattice Grow and Compensation

Admins using Grow can now export key growth data directly from Lattice! Your org’s growth data, whenever you need it, is available in Lattice. The new export options include:

• Growth Area Report (by owner and timeline)
• Growth Area Updates Log (with timestamps)
• Growth Area Actions Log (with due dates)

Each export includes default and custom employee fields, making analysis more flexible.

We’ve also made compensation shareouts more customizable, with new toggles for displaying or hiding base pay, variable pay, total comp, and current pay. And for organizations using weighted performance scoring, those scores can now appear alongside compensation recommendations for added context.
