Having built its base in technology companies and the mid-market, Lattice is moving into large enterprises and adding AI.

Performance management is the core, with 360-degree reviews and 1-on-1 meeting tracking. Goals (OKRs) align individual goals with company objectives. Engagement runs anonymous pulse surveys on morale. Compensation helps HR calculate and distribute bonuses and equity grants.
