Values launches die in the deck

Values roll out in an all-hands, live in a slide, and vanish from daily work within a month. The gap is not belief, it is a mechanism.

Custom kudos are that mechanism: every value becomes a recognition type, and every kudos becomes a small public proof of what the value looks like in practice. About half of active teams on Matter build custom types, and once they do, 65% of recognition carries one.

How Matter turns values into practice

Every value becomes something people can actually send.

1

Custom value kudos

Turn each company value into a kudos type your team actually uses. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.

2

Feedback Friday

Weekly reinforcement, so values get practiced instead of remembered. Feedback Friday posts a kickoff, a reminder, and a recap every week, automatically.

3

Analytics

See which values get lived and which stay on the poster. Analytics show participation and recognition flow by team in real time.

Values live where work happens

Custom kudos types sit in the channels your team already uses, so a values launch does not depend on anyone visiting a separate platform.

No separate logins

Recognition happens inside Slack or Microsoft Teams. No new accounts to create, no passwords to reset, ever.

User management syncs itself

Membership follows your Slack or Teams directory automatically. No HRIS required to start, and 250+ supported when you want them.

About 2 minutes to set up

Install Matter, add it to a channel, and your team can start recognizing each other the same day.
Matter helps us encourage behaviors that align with our company values and can allow us to recognize and reward those who exemplify our values.

Frequently asked questions

How many values can we set up?

As many kudos types as your culture needs. Teams typically start with their core values plus a few personality kudos, and adjust as they learn what gets used.

Can we rename or change values later?

Yes. Kudos types are fully editable, so a values refresh is a settings change, not a re-launch.

What does Matter cost?

Every workspace starts with a free 14-day trial of everything, no credit card required, then lands on the Free Forever plan. Paid plans start at $1 per user per month. Full details on the pricing page.

How long does setup take?

About 2 minutes to install and 5 to 10 to customize. Users sync from Slack or Microsoft Teams automatically, so there is no HRIS project between you and launch. 250+ HRIS integrations are supported when you want them.

Already using another recognition tool?

Switching is a smaller project than it sounds. Your balances come with you, the migration is free on paid plans, and most teams are live within days. Historical kudos do not carry over, so you start with a clean feed and full balances.

Existing balances convert

Point balances from your current platform convert to Matter coins, so nobody loses what they have already earned.

Migration is free on paid plans

Matter handles the migration at no cost on any paid plan. You share the data, we do the work.

Live in days, not quarters

Teams under 100 people typically switch in 1 to 2 days. Teams under 1,000 are usually done in under a week.
