Lattice

Lattice was founded in 2015 and has established itself as a recognized platform in the HR technology category for mid-market companies. The platform focuses on the performance management and employee experience layer of HR — performance reviews, continuous feedback, OKR and goal tracking, engagement pulse surveys, and career development conversations — rather than core HRIS functions like payroll or benefits administration. The performance review functionality is Lattice’s most mature feature set. Managers can configure multi-rater reviews, set review cadences, and track completion rates. The question library and review cycle automation reduce the administrative burden on HR teams that previously ran reviews through email or Google Forms. The OKR and goal tracking module integrates with review cycles, creating a documented connection between individual goals and performance outcomes. Engagement surveys with benchmarking data allow HR teams to compare employee sentiment scores against industry norms — a feature particularly useful for boards and leadership teams requesting retention data. Where Lattice faces pricing complexity is the modular structure. The base $11 per person per month covers performance only. Adding engagement, career development, HRIS, and compensation modules each carry separate per-person fees that add up. A company wanting the full platform may pay $25 or more per person per month before reaching enterprise tier, which is a meaningful cost at 200+ employees. The platform has also been noted for initial setup complexity — configuring review templates, calibration workflows, and integrations with existing HRIS systems requires meaningful time investment from HR teams. Lattice is the right tool for HR teams at 50- to 500-person companies that need structured performance management, documented development conversations, and engagement data in a single platform.
