Creating a healthy performance management culture can be hard, but Lattice is here to help! If you want to set your team up for success, it will be important to get leadership buy-in and set clear expectations for employees.
Below is a success plan you can refer to!
First: Familiarize yourself with the platform
1. Complete the Getting Started Guide for Admins and the "Welcome to Lattice" course in Lattice University to learn all about the different tools in Lattice.
2. Determine which tools you want to start with!
- Reviews
- Goals
- Manager Tools (1:1s and Updates)
- Feedback
- Engagement Surveys and Pulse Surveys
- Grow
Second: Plan your launch approach
There are many different approaches to launching Lattice to your company. Here are a couple of our favorites!
1. The “Phased” roll-out approach: This method is perfect for companies that are new to formalized Performance Management. Choose 2-3 of your favorite tools (think “What did I buy Lattice for?” or “What am I most excited by?”) and roll these out first. After your team is comfortable with those tools, slowly roll out the rest. Typically, each rollout phase one takes 1-2 months.
2. The “All out” roll-out approach: This method will work if your company is familiar with a formalized Performance Management system and already has processes for majority of the tools Lattice has to offer. By rolling out all tools at once, employees will be able to quickly get started and gain value from the full system.
Third: Set up your Lattice system
- Create or Import your Users
- Set up your SSO and Slack Integration
- Set up your Company Page
- Add your Company Values to Lattice
- Set up Departments and Department Heads
- Set up Custom Attributes and Permissions
Fourth: Configure your Lattice Tools
