Compensation
- Compensation Cycle Improvements: This month, Lattice Compensation launched two enhancements to the Admin experience within Compensation Cycles. First, we launched a feature that allows admins to view, add, edit, and delete promotions in product during cycle setup and in an active cycle. Learn more. In addition, Admins can now upload Raise Guidance via CSV during an Active Cycle. This feature allows admins to edit recommended pay changes for any employee during an active cycle, which would then be reflected in manager views. Learn more.
Engagement
- Multiple Choice Questions in Engagement Surveys: Now, with Multiple Choice Questions embedded in Engagement surveys, you will have greater flexibility with the types of questions you can ask, and access to deeper-level quantitative feedback that can be used to inform valuable action plans. Read more about Multiple Choice Questions.
- New Notifications in Engagement Surveys: We have added notifications that will alert Admins when the number of survey participants is below the anonymity threshold. New warnings and callouts will guide Admins to add more participants in order to launch the survey.
- Expanded Engagement Permissions: All Super Admins will now have greater visibility into any Engagement Survey that is created without having to request specific Survey Admin access to see them. This will unblock stakeholders and allow them to more quickly and flexibly act in the moment they need to.
Grow
- Grow Track Auditing and Search Improvements: Navigating to your desired Grow tracks is now much easier, especially for companies with over twenty tracks. You can now search for a track by name, filter, open a track in a new tab, and more. Learn more.

- Guardrails in Performance Reviews: During the Review Calibration set-up process, you can now quickly surface reviewees that are not tagged to a calibration group and easily ensure everyone is included.
Platform

For that reason, Lattice is committed to ensuring the most up to date and expansive integrations for customers. This month, Lattice added or updated SSO integrations with Google, Okta, Azure (Microsoft), and One Login. Check out the new integrations.

Compensation
- Compensation Improvement to Recommender View: Center employees in the compensation review process with our new card view, which replaces the table view for comp recommenders. Tables quickly become hard to use with more pay types and data, and nobody likes side scrolling! This view will make it easier for managers to get the key information they need all in one place and make better decisions. Read more.
- Compensation Band Sharing: Share compensation data with managers and stakeholders outside of the compensation cycles. With this update, admins can share specific comp bands to non-Admins, such as managers or recruiters. Admins have the option to show or hide specific columns (for example, showing base pay ranges but hide equity ranges). Learn more.
Engagement
- Improved Accessibility in Engagement: Our new accessible color palette has been added to new locations within Engagement. Find updates to the distribution bar found under ‘headers’ and ‘table’ views, background UI for comments, and the progress bar indicator for survey responses, among a few other places. We’ve also made an adjustment to the comment field within survey questions to allow the box to grow past three lines as the user types, making it easier for users to read what they write as they go.
Grow
- Auto-sync employees to Grow tracks through HRIS, CSV, and SFTP: We’re thrilled to launch this feature that makes maintaining employee job architecture much more seamless for admins. Admins can now use three new default attributes to sync Job Architecture information from their HRIS, ensuring that employees are automatically synced to the correct Grow track – no other upkeep needed!

- Review PDF Download Customization: Customize how you want to download and examine your review packet with new grouping options. Managers and employees can now choose to download review packets grouped by reviewer, question, or both! Read more about customizing your PDF Download.
- Reviews Calibration Improvements: Do more with less by quickly creating and assigning reviewees to calibration groups via a bulk CSV uploader, saving administrative time and effort. Calibration sessions will also be easier, as you can now filter employees with the same pre-calibrated and calibrated ratings. Learn more.
Platform
- New Help Menu: You now have an expanded list of options to access helpful resources to learn how to use Lattice or get answers quickly if you’re stuck, in addition to chatting with our Customer Care team on any Lattice page.

Organizations that utilize both Lattice and UKG Pro can eliminate manual administration of employee records in Lattice, ensure no duplicate employee records are created, automate new hire provisioning and employee termination/resignation to Lattice, and synchronize custom attributes across applications to automate business rules and run advanced reports.

Engagement
- Personalized Survey Notifications: Users will now get a more personalized notification when an Engagement survey or pulse view is shared. This change includes a more informative view of what data is being made available, including the name of the view, the name of the survey or active pulse, and who else has access to the view. Read more.
- Survey Response Input Update: Users answering an agree/disagree question can now deselect an answer, making feedback more honest and accurate. Accidentally hit the wrong button or changed your mind? No problem! Rest assured, accurate answers are reflected.
- Engagement Design Improvements: 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.
Grow
- UI Improvements to Growth Areas: 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.

Learn more about adding past performance ratings to calibration tables.
- Custom Filtering Within Reviews Calibration: Admins and non-admins alike can now filter calibration tables with custom attributes. As companies scale, calibration facilitation often gets delegated to department leads or functional HRBPs. These users do not always have “super admin” or “system admin” privileges in Lattice, but do need visibility to more sensitive fields that help with calibration facilitation. Now, calibration admins can dive deeper into Lattice and perform more effective calibration. Learn more.
- Org Chart Review Cycle Settings Redesign: Last month, we launched a redesigned setup process for Org Chart Review Cycles. This month, we’ve redesigned the Org Chart Review Settings page to be consistent with updates made to the setup process. The redesigned page gives admins access to an overview of all review settings, reviewees, review directions, and schedule. Admins can now also edit templates from the Review Settings page simplifying the Review setup process. Read more.

- Added the ability to select transition times for the Praise Wall

Grow
- Reminders to managers for career vision kick-off: 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! Learn more.

Performance
- New Improvements to the Calibration Experience for Admins: We’ve enhanced the admin experience for calibrations with updates to the settings, filtering, and grouping functions within Calibrations.

- Improved Calibrations Experience: Now, you can add up to 5 new default attributions to your calibration table including one of our most frequently requested fields: start date.

In addition, employee pronouns are visible during calibration so employees are referred to accurately during calibration sessions. Learn more about using calibrations in your review cycle.
- Edit Questions in Reviews Templates: 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.

- Exit Surveys for Lattice Engagement: With Exit Surveys, People Teams can not only measure the employee experience at every phase, but identify the parts of work life that lead to attrition.

Learn more about Exit Surveys.

By including calibration notes in the manager context panel in performance reviews, managers can easily find and reference context from earlier parts of the review process and use that information to finalize written feedback.
