Lattice Product Updates

We've introduced a new audit log events for performance reviews. You can now see when and who ended a review cycle in the audit log so you'll be able to stay up to date on changes your team makes.

Our goal is to help you and your employees navigate Updates more easily so you can focus on the important conversations they inspire. We've given Updates an overall UX/UI lift, increased visibility for important actions like sentiment, and improved the guiding copy to help employees understand what is expected of them.

We've made it easier for managers and admins to configure how Updates reminders are sent to employees. Managers can now set the frequency, day, and time for notifications specifically for their team. Admins can also set the frequency, day, and time that updates notifications for the company as a default for managers who do not set specific team preferences.

The Lattice Connector allows you to sync your employee information directly from ADP Workforce Now® into Lattice. Lattice integrates with ADP Workforce Now® so you only have to manage your users in one place. The integration also offers SSO into Lattice. When you add an employee to ADP Workforce Now® or update their user information, you can easily manually re-sync the update with Lattice.

You can group several competencies into a theme to match how competency matrices are commonly organized at many companies, including Lattice! Grouping competencies in themes makes it even easier for employees and managers to quickly understand a track, particularly in more complex organizations.

You can now grant visibility access to Managers of Managers for growth plans of their indirect reports. Managers of Managers always have access to growth plan and growth area reporting, but this extra visibility lets them see individual growth plans, areas, and updates so they know more about which competencies and skills each employee is developing. Admins can turn on this visibility setting in the Permissions menu of Grow.

You can create saved views automatically for three personas (Managers, Department Heads, Managers of Managers), share in bulk, add or remove people to a saved view, preview the save view, and more.

Now, admins and managers more visibility into which employees, managers, and departments are creating growth plans and growth areas, and which employees are updating those growth areas with their managers. The data can be grouped and filtered by individual, manager, department, tracks, and custom attributes.

We’ve received a lot of customer feedback that the auto-save animation can sometimes be distracting while writing reviews. To help you stay focused on what's most important, we moved the auto-save notification to the top of the page and included a timestamp.

Agenda templates are an organized way to add recurring talking points in your 1:1 meetings. Users can now create multiple customized agenda templates for agenda items they’d like to discuss regularly in their 1:1’s. Both managers and direct reports can add an agenda template to their 1:1s in the 1:1 settings menu.

Let Lattice help surface those insights to you with sentiment analysis for survey comments with a few new changes: Lattice will display an overall sentiment score for each survey. You can find all comments with sentiment scores in the new Comments tab, and you can also filter both by sentiment score (positive, neutral, or negative) and by response (strongly disagree to strongly agree).

To give admins deeper customization with levels of transparency for engagement data, you can now choose to hide comments when sharing a saved view with another individual. Those individuals will still be able to see the survey results, but comments will not appear.

1:1 participants can now capture action items during 1:1 discussions. With Action Items, you and your direct reports are able to assign ownership and will get reminded of your outstanding Action Items before your next 1:1s. When the action is complete, check it off and celebrate the win!

Slack recently updated interactions with apps to use modal inputs rather than dialog boxes. This is a subtle change for users, but for us, it unlocks a lot more opportunities for more complex and interesting user actions between Lattice and Slack. So far, we've updated the feedback interaction so that you can now tag multiple values to feedback right from Slack.

Start measuring eNPS using pulse surveys! eNPS is your north star metric for employee experience. It asks the question, “How likely are you to recommend our company as a place to work?” on a scale of 0–10.

These talking points now show up in the 1:1 meeting with a new avatar now instead of the manager’s face. This makes it much more clear which agenda items are unique to this 1:1 and which are company-wide talking points.

We've added support for more default HRIS attributes to be added to Lattice via custom attributes for the Namely, Zenefits, and Rippling integrations

Lattice Grow gives employees a clear roadmap for their career growth at your company. And with Lattice Grow tied to Performance, managers and employees have the tools to have productive career conversations.

Until now, we used an algorithm to automatically focus on the face in an uploaded profile picture, or avatar. For most, this worked fine. But for some, their avatars were strangely cut off or focused on the wrong area which was understandably frustrating. Now, when a user uploads an image, they can pan and zoom anywhere to find the perfect angle. Users can also edit their current avatar in the same way.

We've received a lot of helpful feedback about usability improvements for selecting engagement survey participants, and we're excited to announce a few significant updates. You can now add all employees to a survey quickly, or use filters (including custom attributes) to bulk select and add participants.

We've added a few improvements to make selecting participants for performance reviews much simpler. You can now add all employees to a review instantly, or use filters and custom attributes to bulk select and add groups of employees together.

As we have adjusted to our new work from home lives, it is harder to stay connected with each other, so we created Celebrations to bring back a bit of joy into the workday. With Celebrations enabled, you will see a new tab in the Company page where you can see new hires, anniversaries, and birthdays. And best of all, we help you start the celebration with some flair over their avatars.

Feedback is crucial to personal and professional growth. Now, we've made it easy to request feedback from up to 10 people in a single request in Lattice.

1:1s and Updates are now further connected by allowing you to add an employee's Update answer as a talking point for your next 1:1. This encourages conversations around sentiment scores, review progress, and celebrate wins together.
