Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Lattice as a update and management tool, we make use of the weekly update features as well as the grow and 1-2-1 sections. In addition to this we also utilise the functionality of goals which helps us set OKRs across the business and enable end users to see the impact the goals they are assigned affect the team, department and the overall business OKRs.

Pros and Cons

Grow - enables to set indivduals progress and track
Goals - allows you to set goals from indivdual upto company goals
1-2-1's - there are standard templates as well as custom templates you can apply.
Updates - you can set up so users submit updates at the end of the week with some good templates you can use.

more notifications around 1-2-1's
adding other documents to the different areas
shows % of meetings etc if linked to calendar
Annual or Bi Annual review thats summarise previous 1-2-1s or actions from last reviews.

Return on Investment

OKRs - has pushed the business in the right direction to set OKRs from the top level
Performance Reviews - these were hit and miss previously and not always completed but having Lattice and the ability for the SMT to see reporting on who hasnt completed has greatly increase the responsiblity of the managers.
Grow - Having this has meant the company has ensured all employees have a growth plan regardless of their level of seniority.

Alternatives Considered

Access PeopleHR

Lattice outperforms PeopleHR for a people development system, we continue to use PeopleHR for the HR functionality of the system but rather than having everyone upload their document with no real tracking on is one of the main reasons we have chosen to adopt Lattice. Lattice is by far one of the best people tools i have used to date in my 15 year manager career.

Likelihood to Recommend

Lattice fits well into an organisation where there is a lot of structure and has a large focus on indivduals and goals. The different areas let you combine the aspects together such as reviews, 1-2-1's, goals and updates. The most effective way is to utilise the full tool set so you get the full picture of the indivdual and how they are progressing both in theirselves but also the performance for the business.
