Communicating with Employees Through Company Change
Best Practices for Manager Tools: Updates
Without the opportunity to stop by a desk or get a group in a room, consistent virtual communication is even more essential to keep the bridges between employees strong.

An Overview of the 1:1s Tool
Given the difficulties of switching meetings to virtual formats, it's understandable that canceling them feels like a solution. But now more than ever is the time to make sure 1:1s between managers and direct reports are still happening.

Revisit some of the ways that Lattice's 1:1s tool can make it easy to make sure managers and employees feel connected through this period of change.
