Culture Amp
The employee experience platform for data-driven retention.
When HR leaders debate 'Lattice vs. Culture Amp,' the distinction is clear: Lattice wins on structured Performance workflows, but Culture Amp is the undisputed king of Engagement and Data Analytics. It leverages data science to predict attrition and benchmark culture against global peers, making it the essential diagnostic tool for companies obsessed with retention and DEI.
Why we love it

Things to know
- Performance management features (OKRs/Goals) are less structured/robust compared to Lattice.
