Lattice reviews

Lattice is the management software that brings something new other than something more.

Opmerkingen: Lattice is the management software that really brings something different to the table. It does not "fight" with it's competitors but rather complements them. The human focused aspect of it makes Lattice a great management tool to use along with the others ones and it works really well.

Pluspunten:

The human focused aspect of the software is excellent. It has many tools and they work really well, as a result you can view the different HR aspects of the work proccesses.

Minpunten:

Because it is a people management platform it can sound not as resourceful as it's competitors.

Employee Engagement in One Convenient Portal

Opmerkingen: Lattice has been a great tool for our company to eliminate the use of many spreadsheets saved in a million different places. It allows managers and employees to manage the entire employee experience in one place. We have enjoyed implementing this for our company.

Pluspunten:

I love that all parts of employee engagment are tied up in one fairly easy to use platform. From engagement surveys, to 360 feedback, performance management, one on ones, employee recognition, goals/OKRs, and employee growth plans. Lattice is able to fit all of these into one platform which makes employees, managers, and executives jobs simpler to manage!

Minpunten:

The interface is not always intuitive to use. Employees are constantly asking how to get places or how to do certain things. As an administrator I am often left unsure how to tell employees how to do things as they show up differently on the admin dashboard from the employee dashboard. The analytics on pulse surveys is not great either. It makes actionable steps from feedback difficult to find.

Overwogen alternatieven: 15Five

Redenen om voor Lattice te kiezen: Combining multiple platforms into one.

Overgestapt van: TINYpulse en Small Improvements

Redenen om over te stappen op Lattice: Lattice seemed to have more functionality and ran performance reviews more similarly to how our company wanted them to be run. The calibration feature in performance reviews was a huge selling point.

On the way of something great...

Pluspunten:

Using it on a more user level, I feel the layout and interface are very attractive and easy to use. I like the option of only checking feedback after you submit yours, meaning you can avoid biased feedback and that is very important.

Minpunten:

Not sure if this is something related to our Licensing or related to limitations, nevertheless, I feel that exactly, is very limited and could have more options in terms of managing the team, creating a constant evaluation, etc. So is not a secure review in this sense.

Great tool for HR management

Opmerkingen: Amazing so far.

Pluspunten:

It’s very easy to stay human focused. Teams can fill in their OKRs and update their goals as they go, same for individuals. Tracking achievement as well is easy. Another great feature is being able to do 360 peer reviews (yourself, your manager and your teammates). I also love the fact that you can praise your colleagues privately or publicly.

Minpunten:

It might seem hard to find your way around if it’s your first time using Lattice. Linking goals of individuals to team goals for instance can be tricky. But as any software, after some time using it, it becomes easier.

Lattice - a robust performance management tool, best in it's class!

Opmerkingen: I highly recommend lattice for an org of any size. For our org (under 200) it's taking away a lot of the manual work that we would have had to do without it. The implementation is relatively hands off, so it hasn't been too much of a strain on our small HR team.

Pluspunten:

The best thing we've experienced so far is the customer support. Best i've had had with an HR platform! Our dedicated support rep is available (with a back up) for as many demos or trainings as we need for our HR staff, leadership, or managers. They also have a chat feature for quick questions! As for the tool itself - really great performance management system. We also use their engagement survey function and Grow. Grow allows us to create competencies and career tracks across any teams, as well as pair our career development with continuous feedback conversations. This has added great value to our org, since this was cited as a missing feature of our previous performance reviews. We're super happy with how the feature has added value to our org and increased our employee engagement and satisfaction!

Minpunten:

We preferred the engagement survey function in culture amp, but only slightly. Lattice does the trick, but is some functionality from culture amp that we miss (assessing how important certain factors are, better ability to sort departments within the system and not just as an integration/data flow from HRIS, customization, making changes after the survey out - to name a few.) The questions are very applicable though.

Add Structure and Automation to your Performance Management

Opmerkingen: The overall experience has been awesome and the software has taken a small internal desire to implement better goals tracking and a more automated approach to 1:1 and reviews in general and it's accomplished that and more almost by osmosis. Just having the software put us in a better position to implement a process for each. The software itself is extremely approachable and simple but allows for a ton of flexibility in implementation and use allowing it to serve as much more than a simple, once yearly applicated software driven proecss around performance reviews int he traditional sense.

Pluspunten:

The simplicity of use and flexibility in terms of custom use and application of different modules within the software. We approached this software with a process plan and goal structure in mind and Lattice was very resilient to it's implementation digitally as well as provided further insight into what better avenues there are and why. The Customer Sucess team is great with approaching additional product development endeavors through their support desk. Multiple times have been asked and seen functionality sought implemented in successive software updates

Minpunten:

Need to create better functionality around dual management (having co-leads/co-managers of teams) and their ability to review and provide feedback. It's too common to not be supported. Implementation and onboarding of the system was definitely one of the better experiences we've had although there could be more common touchpoints after the first review process to ensure for optimization and process improvement. Things have been a bit more "set it and forget it" after being transitioned off our Onboarding Success Manager although the Customer Success team accessible from the Intercom system has been more than helpful in the absence.

Redenen om over te stappen op Lattice: Better application to what we were looking for: a feedback and goals tracking platform designed for biweekly engagement and performance tracking over daily tracking of mood, behavior, and outlook of the office culture which I felt was more the focus of our secondary choice, 15Five.

One-stop-shop for performance management

Opmerkingen: I like that this software is essentially a one-stop-shop for company-wide as well as individual performance management. It consolidates information and eliminates the need for multiple systems or individual files/spreadsheets. For goal setting, I really like how Lattice allows for transparency and collaboration.

Pluspunten:

My company uses Lattice extensively for company-wide OKR planning/tracking as well as individual employee goal setting. Lots of customizable features (e.g. can make goals visible to entire company, private to certain teams, or private to individuals). Great tool for capturing performance reviews and peer/360 feedback. Loved the level of automation and reminder emails. The software can also hep with preparing for and capturing conversations during 1x1 meetings with direct reports. Lastly, I thought the "pulse surveys" were a cool feature.

Minpunten:

Sometimes the user interface can be a bit clunky; requires multiple clicks to get to where you want; next steps/where to click next are not always intuitive.

Makes 1:1s with my team so much better!

Opmerkingen: As a team manager, Lattice has been a dream. My direct reports already love it and are more engaged in our 1:1s because they have just as much ability to control the agenda. 1:1s have become more of a collaborative 2-way conversation, as they're meant to be. The creator's of Lattice have put a lot of thought into these critical types of interactions and it shows!

Pluspunten:

I love everything about the 1:1s feature within Lattice. It is so easy to set up custom recurring agendas, and copy over agenda items from my team's weekly updates. It is very intuitive and easy to learn. I also love the "recommended for you" items in 1:1s. It helps me to guide the conversation, if need be. It's so easy to get an accurate pulse on how my team is doing with the "Updates" feature. And it works great going the other way too — I can easily add agenda items to the next 1:1 I have with my director.

Minpunten:

So far I have been very impressed. Everything is so user-friendly and intuitive that it is difficult to find something I don't like about this software.

Overall good software but could use some improvements

Opmerkingen: Overall it is a good software to track goals and performance feedback.

Pluspunten:

It was efficient and effective in keeping track of goals. I like that there were multiple ways I could measure the achievement of goals, and that there were different categories and subcategories I could set my goals as.

Minpunten:

I did not like how there were constant reminders to update goals every quarter. I think it should have simply carried over and not said it was a goal from the previous quarter.

If you're looking for an efficient performance management tool, Lattice is great!

Opmerkingen: It just took me a couple of minutes to understand what to do with the tool, as mentioned it is very user-friendly and you can do steps a and b quite quickly

Pluspunten:

This product is user-friendly and straightforward to navigate, it also clearly defines its purpose to users

Minpunten:

None that I've experienced - customer service is also very quick to respond to any issues

Great Tool for Company Performance Reviews

Opmerkingen: It seems there are several useful tools available to both supervisors and direct reports on Lattice, but it's unclear, at least at first glance, exactly what all these tools are, or how to best use them. Because of this, my company mainly only uses Lattice for performance review purposes. Perhaps more time spent watching tutorial videos could help us to better understand the other uses for Lattice, but I can't say the product as is fosters an immediate understanding of the full capability of the software.

Pluspunten:

Lattice is an excellent tool when it comes to issuing and completing performance reviews within a given company. Within my company specifically, department heads and supervisors are able to easily issue a set of questions to their direct reports with ease, choosing either a written or number-based response option for each question. Past performance reviews are saved within the system and available to both the supervisor and the direct report, in order to reflect back on past performance reviews and track growth. And there is a "Weekly Update" feature, which prompts you to reflect on your week. This is especially useful when filling out performance reviews, as the weekly updates you've written throughout the past months or year give you a more detailed summary of your performance over a large span of time.

Minpunten:

The user interface is a bit confusing, in that it's not immediately clear what each tab on the Web sidebar does, or what information it contains. When you navigate to the "People" tab, you're able to view individual people, teams, and the full company, as well as milestones, company updates, and OKRs. But there is also another separate tab for OKRs available in the sidebar. The organization of the interface seems that it could certainly be a bit more streamlined, and clear, and perhaps explanations of what each tab is for and how to use it could enable users to better utilize its tools.

Good Employee Review System

Pluspunten:

The ability to keep track of personal and team goals is nice and the feedback feature is convenient too. It helps teams stay on track and provide updates on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

Minpunten:

When it comes time to review a coworker, the only email notifications sent out are 1 week in advance of the closing date (unless there is a setting that management can change in the backend to make the emails more frequent?). This isn't very helpful because unless you can review the colleague that moment or that day, you often forget to go back and review them before the review period closes. It would also be great if feedback could be edited after submission because I've wanted to change the permission level and add more comments after the fact but once it's submitted, it is final. In these cases, I've had to delete the feedback and submit a new one with the correct permissions and total comments I initially wanted.

Great software for managing employee reviews

Opmerkingen: Generally speaking, Lattice is a good tool to track goals. and provide reviews for employees.

Pluspunten:

- The user interface and experience are fairly good. It's easy for users to understand the flow required to take a specific action. - Review functionality enables individuals to requests and submit reviews from managers or peers - Goal tracking is helpful in that it acts as a historical archive for when an annual review takes place.

Minpunten:

When reviewing other people, there is no mechanism for the reviewer to choose the fields / questions to comment on. In some cases, this lack of flexibility risks having the reviewer decline the review entirely.

Performance Management Tool

Opmerkingen: If my manager has a set roadmap for my goals, it's easier to keep track of everything that I did and accomplished on a weekly basis.

Pluspunten:

The ease of use since everything is handed over to you as an employee and you'll just have to enumerate what you are doing at your job on a day-to-day basis. It also specifies to list down pointers on your agenda before one-on-ones which is quite handy for discussion. I also like that you can see the feedback from your coworker way back.

Minpunten:

It's not relevant if your managers do not have a set plan since they have the option not to have one so if your manager does not have a specific road map for your goals, you'll have no choice but also be too relaxed since you don't have to write anything.

User friendly way to collect reviews

Pluspunten:

We just started using Lattice to do our internal reviews at my company (we had been using a homegrown, somewhat janky solution before this) and I love the transition -- which is rare to say about switching tools. Most people hate change or changing software. Especially since we have three review cycles each year (peer reviews, manager reviews, and self-reviews) it's wonderful to know that the software we're using is making that task painless and easy. Specifically, I love that Lattice has an intuitive design and is easy to navigate, I know that my reviews will get surface to my manager, and that when I'm writing reviews for other it will automatically save them for me as I go.

Minpunten:

If I had to say something bad about Lattice, I would just be making something up. I really have no complaints.

Great tool for keeping track of team health

Pluspunten:

I love the features I heavily use on lattice. I love the year-end eval process. It's a great tool that gives you a lot of space to log your feelings. I love the weekly checkins, as a manager, I have my team do these before our one on ones and it gives us talking points

Minpunten:

There is so much that I dont use on Lattice, so a lot of the features they have go unused

All-In-One Performance Management

Pluspunten:

Our company had tried out several different systems and no company seemed to align with what we were looking for. After a few months of trial and error with other systems we purchased this software. It was exactly what we were looking for in performance reviews. It integrated with our HRIS. The UI is there. It's super easy to use. The analytics are awesome. Peer feedback is a breeze. This is exactly what we were hoping to find. Great product. Great customers service. Our team has been really impressed with this company.

Great features but sometimes difficult to find things

Opmerkingen: It's nice to have everything in one place, especially the 1:1s.

Pluspunten:

Everything is at the same place: 1:1s, quarterly and annual reviews, and peers feedback. Overall a nice product.

Minpunten:

It's sometimes difficult to find all the information when filling in some reviews. When an employee switches from a team to another, the new manager has access to all the employee's past reviews but the former manager loses everything so there's no 'transitioning period' where both the former and the new manager could have access to the past reviews for a limited time. OKRs are difficult to manage in Lattice.

Performance management tool that drives results

Opmerkingen: With Lattice the organization becomes more driven and ultimately more productive.

Pluspunten:

It makes performance reviews very easy. Clear questions as templates. It helps everyone be more focused on their OKRs. Its very easy to use.

Minpunten:

The integration with Slack could be improved. So many notifications disrupt the day to day work. It should be more customizable.

Strong employee feedback tool

Opmerkingen: Overall, positive experience

Pluspunten:

Easy to navigate, easy to see higher level company goals and objectives

Minpunten:

There are many different pages, I'd prefer more views within a single dashboard.

Pretty great tool

Pluspunten:

- Saves a lot of time for hr professionals. - Performance reviews can be easily conducted, documented, and analyzed

Minpunten:

Would take a little time to get used to the tool.

Lattice is great for work and setting goals

Opmerkingen: It helps a lot with knowing how far we are with goals individually and as a company, and i love that we can give each other feedback

Pluspunten:

It is easy to set goals and see how other teams or coworkers are doing

Minpunten:

I wish the organizational chart was a little easier to navigate

Lattice Amazing product

Opmerkingen: Lattice is helping us to keep a track on our personal and team goals.

Pluspunten:

I am part of an SEO agency and we have monthly goals to reach. Lattice is helping me to keep a track on my goals.

Minpunten:

There is nothing I would complain about this app.

Lattice for company internal survey

Opmerkingen: I would suggest to use Lattice for corporate surveys, it is user friendly with a modern interface.

Pluspunten:

Lattice is a good choice for managing internal surveys on company relevant topics. To assure privacy, the answers can be anonymized.

Minpunten:

Lattice can be integrated with other applications such as Slack, which in general is a plus. On the other hand, whit this type of integration Lattice frequently sends push notifications that can be disturbing.

Great tool for tracking team performance and staying on task

Opmerkingen: I think it's a great tool for growing teams and creates a lot of transparency and cooperation for growing organizations.

Pluspunten:

Lattice is a great all-around tool for team management. It's great to be able to run things like Performance Reviews, OKRs and seeing an Org Chart all in one place. It's definitely a one-stop shop in that regard.

Minpunten:

I find it can be a bit cumbersome clicking through all of the various layers of an OKR. It's not the most intuitive experience.
