Lattice Product Updates

The text editor is one of those utilities that holds everything together. It's an unsung hero, so to speak. Our team completely rebuilt the text editor from the ground up to make it even more heroic so you can have an even more seamless experience using Lattice.

With ad hoc 1:1s, you can now schedule a 1:1 meeting with anyone at anytime. You don't have to set a regular cadence, and they won't interrupt the regular 1:1s you have already set.

We've heard that lots of customers have been loving Office Party as a way to get to know everyone at their company. But in case the competition gets too heated, you can now turn off Office Party.

We've improved the user experience for creating API keys in a few helpful ways. It's now much easier to connect data to other systems with UserID and Goal relationships.

We've added a new review sharing option: "Only share feedback with reviewee's managers with reviewers' comments anonymized". Under this setting, reviewer feedback will be anonymous to both the reviewee and the manager. If the review uses private questions, Lattice will notify you about which questions will have different settings.

To give managers and employees a head-start on driving meaningful 1:1 conversations, you can now find a series of recommended talking points right in the 1:1s tool to add to your agendas. The recommended talking points have been gathered from researchers in organizational behavior and people leaders at some of today's most innovative companies.

Requesting external feedback has been especially helpful to companies with project-based relationships with clients. Now, you also have the ability to request feedback from a person outside your company with private + manager visibility. The external person answering the request will see the message “This will be shared with ___ and their manager”.

We simplified 1:1 shared notes by allowing both participants of 1:1s to see shared notes after they are written. No need to hit "Share" anymore, and notes are always auto-saved.

You are now able to select different deliverable types for upward and peer feedback. This enables more customization around how review feedback is shared based on the review to ensure that the right people are getting the appropriate feedback visibility.

Now you can add a custom attribute from Namely, Rippling, and Zenefits (not just BambooHR!). You can also now link an existing custom attribute to an HRIS attribute for all of our HRIS integrations.

We received feedback from customers that reviewing a 1:1 to complete it is confusing. We agree – the idea of completing a 1:1 like a task is strange! We've now removed the "Reviewed" functionality to streamline 1:1s.

You can now check a box that allows managers of a custom attribute relationship, like a dotted-line manager, to “view manager context panel and recommendations in 1:1s”.

We've made a few changes to the Engagement interface to make it even easier to use and more beautiful. Check it out next time you're gearing up to run an Engagement survey!

You can now re-open an individual review from the reviewees sidebar during all stages of the review cycle. Reopen submitted reviews and scores even if the review cycle is closed. No more navigating between reviewers and reviewees tabs to re-open one review!

Pulse admins now have the ability to select specific participants for a pulse survey. This works in the exact same way as the filter bar within automation and is editable at any point in time.

eNPS is your north star metric for employee experience. It measures the likelihood of whether an employee would be willing to recommend your organization as a place to work. Now you can add the eNPS question directly into your next engagement survey in Lattice.

Zenefits and Rippling integrations are dependent on realtime events to keep Lattice up to date. Occasionally, Lattice can fall out of sync with the HRIS when these happen. This update allows you to configure full syncs at night in addition to the live updates. This makes sure Lattice will have the most recent employee data available.

As anonymous comments get submitted through Pulse, we add them to the Slack channel of the admins choosing for the exec team to have a real-time feel and heartbeat of company without having to log into Lattice. This gives certain people at your company the ability to stay up to date on pulse survey activity and collaborate around action faster.

You can now completely remove the calendar integration from Lattice by clicking “disconnect all calendars”. This allows you to remove your email if you accidentally linked your personal calendar. Also, you can restore a calendar sync due to unexpected authorization errors. This occasionally happens when, for example, a user removes access for Lattice from their calendar provider or we remove the auth record. Now you can quickly restore the calendar sync so your 1:1s are accurate.

You can now send praise to up to 10 people at once!

We modified our styles to be higher contrast and more readable. We also consolidated some inconsistencies between Windows users and MacOS users. Now regardless of your platform, everyone will see the exact same styles in Lattice.
