Lattice vs. SilkRoad Performance

Lattice works very well for our two primary purposes: Performance Management and Employee Satisfaction. On the employee satisfaction surveys, we are able to capture comments as well as quantitative ratings. We are able to maintain anonymity for respondents and cut the data based on several descriptors. Lattice was a bit overbuilt for small companies. There were many features built in that we did not use. Lattice has a virtual suggestion box feature but it actually only generated an email window for the user. I would have preferred the suggestions to be sent within the system and maintained in the system rather than externally via email

No, we just had a bad experience unfortunately.

Incentivized

• Giving me up to date information and tasks that enable me to complete necessary training experiences.
• Giving me a user friendly interface/platform that allows me to communicate with coworkers, supervisor, etc.
• It notifies me when I have things to do, and when I have completed necessary tasks.
• It gives me a bank of completed tasks so that I can chronologically follow my progress over time as I have been with my organization.

• Unfortunately our experience was very poor, so I don't have anything for what they do "particularly" well.

Incentivized

• The interface is a little bit difficult to navigate. I think the home page could be more streamlined.
• There is no way to check off or complete goals. It just reminds you forever until you delete them. There should be a way to have a list of completed goals.
• The org chart could be clearer, although it's possible that it's just how my company is doing it.

Incentivized

• Transparency about the capabilities of their system. We would have never chosen WingSpan had we had a clear picture of the limitations of their system.
• Ease of use - as an administrator we found it to be difficult to work with. Of course, improvements may have been made in this area since we used it last.
• The user interface could use some updating.

It is an expensive platform and other platforms are coming to market with similar features at a fraction of the price.

Lattice Support is not that good. We have had to have calls with them in the past and their product team did not have a lot of knowledge about their product. I believe they are able to provide a much better level of service and that would increase my likelihood to work with them again.

We previously used ADP's Performance Mgmt module and found it to not meet any of our needs. In the fall of 2020, I sourced/contacted three vendors - Lattice, Goal Span & Performance Culture & had demos of their offerings. Lattice checked all of the boxes we were seeking; implementation was fast & we were able to kickoff our first review the end of November as we normally do - what a huge positive difference we immediately saw!!

We used Cvent following our WingSpan experience. It worked out much better and had more capability than WingSpan.

• The clear ownership of individual goals probably had a positive impact on ROI
• As this is a people management software, it is hard to gauge the raw amount of impact it had on ROI. But it did foster a sense of community which I'm sure has a positive impact on ROI.
• Being able to align company, departmental, and individual goals all together has a positive impact on ROI.

Incentivized

• I feel it set us back a bit, and also caused us to lose credibility with our management team after it turned out to be a "failed experiment."
• We have gone back to a manual system of doing goal setting that works better for us.
