Lattice

Lattice is a sophisticated people management platform that has evolved into an AI-first talent suite for 2026. Architecturally, it serves as a middleware layer between core HRIS systems and the employee experience, utilizing a robust graph database to map organizational relationships, performance history, and skills gaps. Its 2026 market position is defined by 'Lattice AI,' an integrated intelligence layer that automates performance review drafting, identifies burnout risk through sentiment analysis, and provides real-time coaching for managers. The platform consolidates performance reviews, OKRs, 1:1s, employee engagement surveys, and compensation management into a unified data ecosystem. Technically, it offers deep bi-directional syncing with major HRIS providers like Workday and Rippling, while its analytics engine leverages predictive modeling to forecast employee turnover. Lattice is designed for organizations that view HR not as an administrative function but as a strategic lever, providing the data density required for evidence-based talent decisions.
