Lattice vs. Small Improvements

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.

I'm honestly not sure why my company chose to use Small Improvements. We used Lattice before for the all the same use cases I mentioned here. The employee performance review feature might be a bit better in Small Improvements, but the goal-setting tool and the 1:1 tool are very weak. I may not have benefitted yet from all the features that Small Improvements have to offer, but so far it looks like a pretty basic HR tool with much better alternatives out there. If it's cheaper than the competition, that might be the only argument to go with it.

• 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.

• Take shared or private notes tied to each week's 1-1 meeting
• Remind each other of open action items until they are checked off
• Manage the performance review cycle

• 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

• Interface can be cluttered at times
• There isn't a lot of help or knowledge readily available when first using the tool

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.

I never had to contact their support so far. There's no "N/A" option so I'm going with a neutral "5".

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!!

Lattice was able to link in with core OKRs whereas from my memory, Small Improvements didn't support this goal setting and tracking framework. While it was good for sentiment and management frameworks, it was unable to connect with the greater company vision as well as Lattice - that was the reason that we moved.
