How Employee Recognition Works in Slack
Instead of asking employees to switch tools, let alone remember another login and password, Matter makes recognition easier to adopt in the channels where teams already communicate. Recognition, rewards, and surveys can all happen inside Slack, which helps make participation more visible, consistent, and natural.
Matter can be installed in public, private, shared, and Slack Connect channels, making it flexible for different team structures and collaboration styles. For larger organizations, Matter also supports Slack Enterprise Grid with multiple Matter-connected channels managed from one centralized workspace.
Why teams use Matter with Slack
Matter makes employee recognition easy to launch and easy to manage in Slack.
One person installs it
Only one person needs to install Matter in Slack, add it to any desired channel, and whoever is in that Slack channel can start using Matter right away.
No downloads or new accounts
Team members don’t need to download anything or create an account. It’s all through Slack’s SSO.
Membership stays in sync
Admins can add or remove users from the Matter-connected Slack channel, and Matter’s web app syncs with Slack every 24 hours to reflect membership updates.
How teams use Matter and Slack
From recognition and rewards to surveys and celebrations, Matter helps teams turn Slack into a central place for employee engagement.
1. Recognition in the flow of work
Use Slack to make employee recognition part of everyday work with kudos, company values, Feedback Friday, and birthdays & work anniversaries that are easy for teams to participate in.
2. Rewards that reinforce great work
Support recognition with Matter’s coin system and reward options so employees can turn appreciation into meaningful employee rewards inside a familiar workflow.
3. Surveys that strengthen engagement
Run employee surveys such as pulse surveys, eNPS surveys, and onboarding surveys in Slack to gather feedback, measure engagement, and better understand the employee experience over time.
Frequently asked questions
How do you install Matter in Slack?
Installing Matter in Slack has two parts: first, install the Matter app in your Slack workspace, then add Matter to a Slack channel. Teams can add Matter to an existing channel or create a new Matter channel during setup. Matter can also be transferred to a new Slack channel as teams evolve. We recommend installing Matter from the Slack Marketplace or following Matter’s step-by-step Slack installation guide.
Can Matter be added to a private Slack channel?
Yes. Matter can be added to a private Slack channel, either an existing channel or teams can create a new Matter channel and then make it private after setup.
Does Matter support multiple Slack channels, Slack Connect, and Slack Enterprise Grid?
Yes. Matter works with Slack Connect, supports multiple Matter-connected channels, and supports Slack Enterprise Grid setups for larger organizations. In Enterprise Grid, each Matter-connected channel can have its own settings for things like Feedback Friday, kudos, celebrations, analytics, and more.
How are users added or removed from Matter in Slack?
Users are added to or removed from Matter when admins add or remove users from the Matter-connected Slack channel. Slack Workspace Owners and Admins can also use Slack’s Default Channels feature to automatically add people to Matter in Slack for a Matter-connected public channel. If someone leaves the company and is removed from Slack, they are automatically removed from Matter.
