Lattice vs. Leapsome

Lattice is a popular human resources platform designed to streamline people management, with a focus on performance management and employee engagement. Lattice's primary objective is to improve the way companies manage, measure, and motivate their workforce. It provides a suite of tools that facilitate ongoing communication between employees and managers, helping organizations build a feedback-rich culture.

Lattice was founded in 2015 by Jack Altman and Eric Koslow. The duo recognized a gap in the HR software market. While many tools existed for administrative HR tasks (like payroll and benefits), they felt there was a need for a tool that addressed the "people strategy" side of HR, which included performance management, feedback, and employee development.

Leapsome is an all-in-one platform for performance management and employee engagement. It's designed to help companies cultivate a feedback-rich culture, drive employee performance, and develop their people. Leapsome aims to provide tools to companies for seamless performance evaluations, goal management, and employee engagement analysis. Its integrative approach assists organizations in aligning performance reviews with long-term goals and regular feedback mechanisms.

Leapsome was founded in Berlin, Germany, by Kajetan Armansperg and Jenny Podewils. They recognized a need in the market for a platform that could offer comprehensive tools for employee performance management and engagement, particularly as businesses grew more complex and distributed. The founders believed that continuous learning and feedback are at the core of personal and professional development.
