Lattice Product Updates

Automated review rules have a lot of moving parts. Now, if you are wondering about when, how, or why something happened with an automated review rule, you can explore the audit log. You can see who added or removed filters, changed the targeted reviewees, adjusted visibility settings, and more. Note that this log will show changes beginning on October 26.

For companies with lots of employees, we've made it easier to assign employees to tracks and levels if you decide not to link a custom attribute from you HRIS. a barrier to initial product adoption. Admins can now assign employees to tracks and levels in all at once by simply uploading a CSV file.

Grow admins can now grant others admin permissions only for a specific track. This allows those track admins to edit and assign employees to it.

We realized it's important to see more specific reporting on review progress across the review cycle because participation is critical in having an effective review process. Now, we’re making it easy for admins/HRPBs to have the visibility they need in order to track progress and follow up with reviewers easily & effectively.

Plug competencies directly into review cycles and create specific questions from each reviewee's competencies. By directly tying competencies to performance conversations, employees gain a clear understanding of how their performance gets them to the next level in their Track.

As you create questions for your upcoming reviews, we've now allowed for complete edit control before it's added to an active review cycle. This gives you and other admins much more flexibility when creating new review question.

We understand how difficult it can be to create tracks and competencies from scratch. We want to make it easier for you to get started with Grow by creating a track from a template. Select either the Manager template or the Individual Contributor template, and each comes filled with 5 job levels and 10 competencies.

We've made some adjustments to the description copy and user experience for key stages when setting up performance reviews. This makes it more even more clear, for example, when and for whom private or public questions are visible in reviews.

In admin feedback settings, you can now allow employees to request feedback about themselves from individuals outside your company via Lattice or the Slack integration. Previously, only managers could request external feedback.

Lattice has supported numeric attribute types via bulk update from a CSV or SFTP, but now admins can add numeric attributes directly from their HRIS (BambooHR, Namely, Zenefits, and Rippling). And if you have an existing numeric attribute, use the "Link to HRIS" button to start syncing it right away.

A lot of tools you may already use have a special keyboard shortcut to quickly search and perform common actions. Now, we've created that capability in Lattice! On any page, just type CMD + K to bring up an entirely new search experience. Common actions like giving feedback or planning your next 1:1 are now right at your fingertips so you can become a true Lattice power-user

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!
