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

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.

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.

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.

Admins can now also edit templates from the Review Settings page simplifying the Review setup process. Read more.

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.

Performance
- 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. Any edited questions in the template bank will also be updated in the question bank as well. Learn more about editing questions in a Reviews 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.

Now, managers will also be able to access those notes after calibration ends in their context panel! They’ll be able to see notes for their reports through both “you” and “teams” tabs. 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.
