Lattice is the Culture Amp alternative that helps companies cultivate high-performing teams and achieve better business outcomes. Keep reading to see what puts Lattice in a league of its own.
Culture Amp is influenced by a philosophy where engagement matters most and performance is an afterthought. At Lattice, we believe that an integrated approach to continuous performance management, employee engagement, and career development is a critical foundation for high-performance cultures.
The Lattice People Success Platform was developed organically — not via acquisition — to help organizations offer a streamlined experience to improve performance, increase engagement and make sure employees grow the way they want to.
Lattice is designed to support the evolving needs of today’s fastest-growing organizations — from dozens to thousands of employees — and help them transform their culture. Culture Amp doesn’t offer the same level of flexibility or support for growing teams.
Lattice delivers seamless reporting and analytics features. Culture Amp has built out its capabilities via acquisition, so its reporting capabilities are disjointed.
Lattice’s powerful people success platform is designed to help everyone do their best work. It gives employees a way to grow, provides front-line managers tools to hold valuable conversations, and ensures leadership has the feedback and analytics they need to improve their People strategy. Lattice was built for the new world of work, where people leaders must drive performance, engagement, and development throughout the employee lifecycle.
A strong focus on managing employee performance, engagement, and development leads directly to business success. Lattice makes it easy to gather feedback from peers and managers, set goals and expectations, hold effective 1:1s, and give the most useful guidance to employees. People teams can continuously measure and optimize the inputs that impact performance and development, furthering both employee careers and business outcomes.
Building a culture of engagement and collaboration only works when employees can interact regularly with their people success platform. Lattice lets everyone in your organization give feedback, praise colleagues, collaborate on shared goals, and follow up on performance-related conversations right in Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, or other tools you use every day.
Understand your company culture like never before by visualizing connected data on employee engagement, performance, and development. Filter by employee demographics, group affiliation, or custom elements you can easily add, building collaborative action plans from flexible dashboards for HR leaders and managers. People team leaders can also track adoption and ROI of employee programs to show the tangible value of their efforts.
Lattice consistently helps customers cultivate the best talent, empowers employees to take on bigger roles, and inspires managers to coach their employees in a way that helps the company scale successfully.
While Lattice and Culture Amp both provide employee engagement, performance, goal-setting, and analytics for HR and People Management teams, only one is a true “people success platform” built with the end-user experience and adoption top of mind. It’s this holistic approach that Lattice customers love.
Culture Amp offers employee engagement surveys and some limited performance features, yet many users complain that the solution feels disjointed. Unlike Lattice, which was built to connect performance and engagement from the beginning, Culture Amp only began focusing on performance after its acquisition of Zugata in 2019. Because of this, Culture Amp customers find themselves manually aggregating data on engagement and performance to get actionable insights into how to improve business outcomes. In addition, Culture Amp customers express frustration over its performance management offering’s lack of flexibility and customization options
Another thing to consider is how employees actually engage with Lattice vs. Culture Amp. Lattice was built to fit into employee workflows — with impactful integrations with tools your team relies on. Your employees don’t need to access the Lattice platform directly to experience its value, whether they are updating their teams, providing feedback, or recognizing colleagues with praise. Without this ability, and with their historical focus on once-or-twice-a-year employee usage, Culture Amp users may struggle to adopt the solution and view it as an extra to-do rather than a seamless way to enhance their performance and career goals.
Help employees understand how they can impact the company and their careers with performance reviews, goal-setting, and effective 1:1s.
Collect feedback using surveys, pulses, and eNPS to understand and act on how your employees feel about work.
Integrated employee growth & development drives talent acceleration, connecting employee growth and business impact.
While Lattice and Culture Amp both offer core survey and engagement capabilities, Lattice is the only alternative to Culture Amp that recognizes engagement management is only valuable if it’s integrated into employee performance and development. Culture Amp lacks this true integration, making it a significant obstacle to success for today’s People teams. Lattice, on the other hand, was built from the ground up as a unified platform.
Lattice seamlessly connects performance, engagement, and employee development, enabling People leaders to surface connected insights and adapt as the company culture continues to evolve, helping broader initiatives succeed. And performance and engagement metrics flow seamlessly across the platform. As a result, it’s super easy to analyze data, create robust reports and rich visualizations, and share all of that information with the team. On the other hand, as users point out, Culture Amp’s reporting capabilities leave something to be desired.
Many of today’s leading organizations — like Reddit, Stripe, Slack, and Asana — prefer Lattice for performance management. Not only does Lattice make it easy to improve performance and engagement, it also bolsters companies’ ability to help their teams grow as professionals. Plus, Lattice also delivers powerful analytics that enable People teams to continuously improve the employee experience, which, in turn, strengthens company culture.
