Lattice is the leading performance management platform used by 5,000+ companies including Slack, Asana and Reddit. It combines performance reviews, OKR/goal tracking, employee engagement surveys, 1:1 meeting tools and career development planning into one connected platform — replacing the fragmented mix of spreadsheets, survey tools and email that most companies use for performance management.
Its AI features include AI-assisted review writing that helps managers give more specific, actionable feedback, automated performance insights that flag teams at risk of disengagement, and natural language analysis of survey responses that surfaces themes and sentiment without manual reading. This makes performance data actionable rather than just collected.
Lattice's continuous feedback model encourages regular check-ins rather than annual reviews only — employees and managers exchange feedback in real time, 1:1 agendas are automatically populated with talking points and career goals are tracked against development milestones. This shift from annual to continuous performance management is the most impactful change most companies can make to improve retention and development.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lattice is used to manage the full performance cycle — setting goals, running performance reviews, measuring employee engagement and planning career development. It replaces the typical combination of Google Forms reviews, spreadsheet OKR tracking and separate survey tools with one connected platform where all people data lives together.
Lattice AI assists managers in writing performance reviews by suggesting specific, behavioural language based on the employee's goals and feedback history. It flags vague phrases and recommends more actionable alternatives. For HR teams, AI analyses review text across the company to identify patterns — for example, whether certain managers consistently write shorter reviews or whether particular teams receive lower development scores.
Lattice is better for companies where performance management and employee development are the primary focus — it's purpose-built for this and significantly more user-friendly than Workday's performance module. Workday is better if you need performance management as part of a larger HRIS including payroll and benefits. Most companies that can afford both use Workday for HR operations and Lattice for performance and engagement.
The best performance management platform for companies serious about people development — Lattice replaces disconnected spreadsheet reviews and survey tools with a unified system that actually helps managers develop their teams.
