Lattice Product Updates

To help users engage with Grow, we made updating Growth Areas even easier. Now, editing growth areas is more straightforward, which encourages users to update their progress more often.

Engagement surveys now allow users to sort comments by submission date, making it easier to understand the timeline in which comments were received. In addition, when analyzing both engagement and pulse survey results, users can find Result, Theme, and Question breadcrumbs at the top of the page so that the survey structure is more obvious when needing to navigate between content.

We’ve enhanced the admin experience for calibrations with updates to the settings, filtering, and grouping functions within Calibrations. Admins can now filter review analytics by calibration groups to quickly see rating responses for subsets of reviewees. Admins can now also add reviewees to calibration groups while they are already in a group. Lastly, Admins can copy the settings of a calibration group and apply those settings across all other calibration groups rather than applying settings one by one.

This new visual overhaul aims to make review setup more intuitive.

For admins, now when exiting a full-screen survey, it takes you back to the Survey Auditing page instead of the default admin page so you can keep on moving. For users, you can now quickly access your Lattice Engagement content like shared views and action plans with a new entry point directly in the primary navigation bar.

1:1 action items can now be assigned due dates. This feature will help managers provide more clear expectations to their direct reports, and help direct reports stay accountable and communicate progress on tasks.

Managers want to hold productive and meaningful conversations with their direct reports, but they often need guidance on how and when to discuss certain topics. This new feature enables Admins to provide 1:1 templates to their managers so they can easily facilitate different types of key conversations.

This new update flow allows goal owners to quickly and easily provide a status update on all of their goals in one swift motion – helping to make goals are always up to date and don’t go forgotten.

Early access to Lattice Compensation is officially available to Lattice Customers! With Lattice Compensation, your team can include performance data in your compensation review, and use it to provide raise guidance for employee salaries. Managers and department leads can use notes to provide context when a recommendation falls outside the raise guidance, while admins benefit from a streamlined setup and progress tracking.

We’ve made a research-backed update of 11 Lattice Engagement template questions for greater clarity and context from our Lattice Advisory Services (LAS) team.

We’ve given the Company Page a new look, adding layout and usability improvements, a new Key Links section, a miniature Praise Wall, and easier access to settings.

Last month, we released the ability for admins to send a notification to all managers, prompting them to kickoff career conversations. Now, we’ve set up an automatic reminder notification that will be sent to managers one week after that initial notification. This follow-up notification is default On if an admin has scheduled the initial notification. These notifications will help admins to drive adoption of the IDP tool across their company!

Track Admins now have access to Grow Track templates and can be given the ability to publish tracks.

Now, you can add up to 5 new default attributions to your calibration table including one of our most frequently requested fields: start date. These additions help ensure all relevant demographic information is in your calibration table so you don’t have to switch screens mid-session to get additional information. In addition, employee pronouns are visible during calibration so employees are referred to accurately during calibration sessions.

Now, no matter where your team brainstorms and finalizes OKRs and goals, you can now efficiently import all of them at once into Lattice as active goals (in addition to historical) via CSV.

Goal owners can now quickly and easily provide status updates on all of their goals in one swift motion. Whether you are updating your goals from the homepage, Goals Explore page, or an update notification, you’ll automatically be taken to all of your owned goals to provide status updates. This new feature helps make sure that none of your company priorities slip through the cracks and that everything stays up to date.

On the Grow tracks auditing page, Admins can now see who made the latest change to a track and the timestamp of when that change was made.

It’s important for your managers to provide career development to their direct reports, but it’s a daunting task to ensure that they know how to do so effectively. Our new templates can help you ensure managers run regular, high-quality development conversations. These templates provide best practices for these conversations and can be conveniently embedded into 1:1s.

Admins can now make edits to questions in a template, even if the template is being used in an active review cycle. Admins can edit the label, description, tag, and question in any Reviews template. All edits made to questions from the template bank will be applied for future uses of the template. Any edited questions in the template bank will also be updated in the question bank as well.

Managers are now able to reference past reviews while writing their manager summary during a review cycle. By making past reviews more easily accessible, we can help managers reduce things like recency bias and streamline their review writing process.

Admins can now build and schedule a notification to all managers prompting them to kickoff or continue working on Individual Development Plans with their employees. These notifications will help encourage more regular career conversations.

Based on your feedback, we’ve made a few updates to Lattice OKRs & Goals including: the ability to remove a priority once it’s applied to a goal, a refreshed goal creation form that simpler and easier to complete, and a fix to the goals sidebar to ensure the page doesn’t jump when you close it.

Managers are now able to create their own Career Vision questions. The manager-created questions will only apply to their direct reports, enabling them to customize the Career Vision template to perfectly suit their team.

We’ve refreshed our Lattice Engagement benchmarks with the latest data from 2021. For the first time, we’re publishing eight segmented benchmarks for our top industries, size segments, and geographies so you can compare your company’s results against the most relevant groups for you.
