Lattice vs. Sage HR

It's good for completing performance reviews and setting goals. However, goals should have a different setup, as I mentioned in the previous question. The company also uses it for pulse surveys and one large survey that goes out each year. While I don't have anything to do with compiling that data, it seems to be functional for the HR team. Their goal is to make sure that large survey is as anonymous as possible and that they are able to effectively compile the data. They share it with us. The org chart could be more user-friendly too.

Keeping an accurate time off calendar, with specific buckets, is extremely important. It has helped my company grow without having to manage things in Excel. Also, implementing an annual review process by using CakeHR has been very clean and transparent with my employees. This also allows me to see year over year. In years past, we used Word or a Jotform which made it challenging to pull up years past.

• 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.

• Employee self service - the apps and desktops GUIs are very intuitive.
• Leave management - this manages itself through the app and system, saves lots of admin.
• Customization - you can tailor the system more and more to suit your specific needs.
• Updates and Customer Service - the CakeHR team gave dedicated a lot of time to bring out weekly updates and systems improvements which shows they are dedicated to making this a great product - the fact that they were bought by Se recently is also testament to their ongoing mission.

• Navigating on the website can be confusing. Webpage design can be improved.
• Management Reviews could be more specific. They are only given one text box to provide feedback on Self-Reviews.
• The way in which goals are set and how to edit them is confusing. Found myself with repeating goals from a previous quarter even though I tried to turn them off as they were complete.

Incentivized

• Updating information in a central location that implements changes across whole system.
• Custom reporting and history
• Time off policies tracking and management

My staff "actually" likes it! I can tell because they are actively in the program almost daily!

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.

Customer support is amazing. There are times I post a question and I don't get back to support. They will always follow-up with an email to make sure our questions are answered. I even had a call with Julianna who was wonderful and very personable. You definitely get a level us service that exceeds most companies. Keep up the good work CakeHR.

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!!

For core HR functionality, this is the only product we use. For ATS, we have experimented with BreezyHR. We've learned that CakeHR is adding an ATS module soon though.

• At first he doesn’t make sense to fill out but after time does hold you accountable.
• As I mentioned before it’s a great way to have positive interactions to show public restroom fashion in your company.
• I’m not familiar with the cost but it seems like a good software and I enjoy using it.

• The system shows us all days off and overtime, so we can manage this and know everything is like agreed in the contract.
• A simple and affordable system with room to grow.
