A New Era in HRIS: Redefining the Employee Experience

Almost exactly one year ago, we made a big announcement: an HR Information System designed to tackle persistent problems that existing solutions simply haven’t solved, such as clunky software, disjointed data, and too much paperwork. Today, after working closely with over 70 beta customers to refine every detail, we’re thrilled to share that Lattice HRIS is here!

Our customers have been at the heart of shaping this product. Together, we addressed the challenges HR teams face with outdated, rigid systems that are designed to manage data instead of people. These systems silo critical programs like performance, engagement, and compensation, forcing HR teams to spend hours pulling reports from different platforms and piecing together incomplete insights. The result is low employee adoption, wasted time, and a fragmented view of your workforce.

‍

Lattice HRIS is different. With talent at its core, it seamlessly connects your key people programs and employee system of record. This strategic approach streamlines operations, delivers better data, and enables HR teams to truly focus on supporting their employees. It's built on three key principles:

• Unified: Lattice HRIS brings together all your HR processes — onboarding, payroll, performance management, and more — into one connected system, simplifying workflows and providing a more comprehensive view of your workforce.
• Intuitive: Designed for ease of use, the platform enables employees, managers, and HR teams to navigate it effortlessly, leading to greater adoption across the company.
• Flexible: Whether it’s custom workflows or unique reporting needs, Lattice HRIS adapts to the specific processes of your organization, scaling as your business grows.

Working with our customers, we’ve created a dynamic platform that empowers HR teams to manage people operations efficiently while enhancing the employee experience at every stage.

An HRIS for the Entire Employee Lifecycle

Lattice HRIS is built to support the entire employee journey by integrating onboarding, performance management, and payroll into one cohesive system. By automating and connecting these processes, HR teams can focus on delivering a better employee experience, from day one through career development and beyond.

Onboarding, Simplified

With Lattice HRIS, onboarding is streamlined from start to finish. As soon as a candidate accepts an offer, their data flows directly from your ATS, automating tasks and documents while keeping HR in the loop every step of the way. Admins can curate welcome content ahead of time—such as company values, a first-week schedule, and equipment setup details — to ensure new hires feel prepared and excited before their first day.

Behind the scenes, the system automatically assigns tasks to teams, ensuring that everything from equipment delivery to payroll setup is handled smoothly. Combined with Lattice Talent, onboarding doesn’t stop at day one. New hires have their first weeks mapped out with scheduled 1:1s, clear onboarding goals, and performance expectations — all trackable in real time.

By transitioning to Lattice HRIS, beta customer and People Success Award Winner LTSE was able to automate what was once a 75-plus step onboarding process. Now, they deliver a better, more consistent onboarding experience to every employee, with less overhead from HR.

Powerful and Flexible Workflows

Managing workflows is critical to keeping operations smooth, and Lattice HRIS simplifies this process. Whether handling promotions, role changes, or life events, Lattice ensures that tasks are completed efficiently with the right approvals and follow-ups.

HR teams can monitor progress from a single dashboard, customizing workflows to fit company processes or using pre-built templates to get up and running quickly. Managers can trigger workflows with just a few clicks, keeping everything moving smoothly without manual tracking.

Customizable, Intuitive Reporting

Reporting is often the downfall of most HRIS systems. It’s clunky, time-consuming, and overly reliant on manual analysis. Lattice HRIS changes that, where reporting becomes a powerful, time-saving tool. With customizable Employee Snapshots, HR admins can easily travel back in time to see historical, point-in-time views of company data. Want to see how your workforce looked across departments on June 3, 2023? Just input the date, and Lattice will generate an accurate report, with the option to add breakdowns by gender, so you can compare your division’s representation on any given day. You can take it a step further by viewing total employee costs and comparing them across performance metrics, giving a clear picture of spend based on performance.

The data reporting was one of our favorite features that we were most excited to use and explore.

This data can be sliced by any data: demographic, performance indicator, location, and more. Even better, reporting isn’t locked behind HR. Managers and teams with data access can run their own reports, whether it's promotion histories or key insights. This empowers leaders to make real-time, informed decisions without delays.

‍“The data reporting was one of our favorite features that we were most excited to use and explore. It’s allowed us to quickly visualize our data as well as share that information with our team. We’ve found it customizable and easy to use,” says Ally Spencer, People Operations Manager at Trust & Will.

Payroll, Time Tracking, and Benefits

Lattice offers multiple options for handling payroll, ensuring flexibility based on your company’s needs. While Lattice Payroll will offer full end-to-end payroll processing when it launches next spring, the Payroll Hub is available now, simplifying payroll with error-free imports and exports. Employees can also access their pay stubs and update bank details in one central portal, cutting down on HR’s administrative workload.

Lattice Time Tracking allows employees to log hours from their web or mobile devices, ensuring overtime is calculated accurately across U.S. states and territories. Managers can review and approve timecards, while admins have full visibility into hours worked and can easily track time entries.

With our upcoming integration with Employee Navigator, managing benefits will also become more streamlined, offering employees easy access to benefits information and reducing manual work for HR teams.

Welcome to the People-Powered Future

As Lattice HRIS launches, we’re excited to share that the journey doesn’t stop here. We’re continuously working on the next wave of enhancements to further empower your HR team. Look out for AI-powered onboarding, bulk admin actions, and advanced reporting that will provide deeper insights and greater efficiency. We’re also expanding integrations with industry-leading HR tools and introducing a new Partner API to ensure seamless connectivity with your existing systems.

With Lattice Payroll launching next year, along with mobile time-tracking and more innovations, we’re just getting started. Together, we’re building a people-powered future where HR teams are empowered to focus on what matters most: their people.
