Lattice Product Updates

We have introduced new UX/UI updates to both the org chart page and to org chart cards, including pronouns on cards for employees who have added pronouns, color-coded cards based on department, reporting chain details, horizontal and vertical orientation, and an updated Goals UI. We’ve also added the ability to download your org chart as an image, introduced employee search capabilities within the Org Chart, and made the Org Chart more discoverable with a link from both Home and Company pages.

Lattice is committed to building a more inclusive platform, and gender pronouns play an important role in creating a welcoming community for members of all gender identities. The "Pronouns" field in Lattice allows users to add their gender pronouns to their Lattice profile and let others know how to refer to them.

Now, when someone receives Praise in Lattice, employees can add Emoji reactions to celebrate their colleagues’ recognition and achievement.

Now, when reviewees fall between groups, scores, promotions, or just need extra attention, calibration tags are an easy way to add structured data for sorting/filtering, so you can easily manage the next steps or flag outliers. This can help with retention risk and promotion situations.

Historically, cross-functional teams and sub-departments have struggled with goal setting in Lattice because our goal types didn't reflect where they sit in the company. We just had 3 goal types— Individual, Department, and Company. Now, with the Group goal types, this allows these teams to be met where they are and allow them to set goals at the appropriate level.

Calibration notes allow admins or session participants to add context, capture meeting discussion, and document final scoring decisions on an individual without having to leave Lattice, which increases the risk of data exposure. Notes can only be seen within the calibration session and won’t appear in the context panel or anywhere else in Lattice (although this is something we are considering in the future). Super admins/calibration admins can grant permissions to session participants to add/view notes.

We've introduced new Goals reporting functionality that allows you to see specific goal details and even take actions on goals. For example, you can now click into goal numbers to see a list of goals and even open a sidebar for each goal similar to the explore page directly from the Participation and Status reporting pages. This functionality creates new user, manager and department drill down pages which will be useful for viewing different groups of goals together. We've also included clickable donut charts and employee dropdowns to make it even easier to get more information from Goals reporting.

Now we've included the attribute Start Date as a field that can be used to filter and select specific employees when determining who should participate in the upcoming review cycle. This is only applicable to org chart reviews and is not yet available for project-based reviews and automated rules.

We are bringing the ADP HRIS integration to feature parity with our other HRIS integrations by allowing mutual ADP and Lattice clients to sync custom attributes from ADP to Lattice.

Employees often don’t know where to start when it comes to developmental goals. Coming in just a couple of days to Grow, employees and their managers can attach Action Items to a Growth Area, making it easier to achieve and track progress on development areas.

Lattice previously had two different classifications for scoring-type questions: rating questions that could be calibrated, and scored attributes that could be used for things like skills-based assessments. Now, we've combined all functionality into a single rating question type, calibrated rating questions, that allows all questions to be calibrated after reviews are submitted. This gives People Teams more flexibility to ensure that all scores are submitted fairly across their organization.

Our homepage now offers users an easy, one-click way to create a growth area in Grow, making it easy for you to keep your growth plan top-of-mind.
