Financial Services
70% of recognition tagged to a company value. Discipline, measured.
Values on the wall are not values in the work
Financial services teams publish values everywhere and reinforce them almost nowhere. Recognition is the reinforcement mechanism: when a kudos carries the value it demonstrates, the value stops being a poster.
Compliance and IT matter here too. Matter is SOC 2 Type 2 audited, GDPR compliant, and adds no new login surface: users sync from Teams or Slack automatically.
How Matter reinforces your values
Every kudos carries the behavior it demonstrates.
1. Values-tagged kudos
Every custom kudos type maps to a company value, so culture gets reinforced one specific win at a time. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.
2. Celebrations
Birthdays and work anniversaries run automatically across every branch and department. Celebrations pull dates from your directory or HRIS and post on their own.
3. Rewards with budget control
Weekly-resetting allowances keep reward spend smooth and forecastable. Rewards are funded transparently and self-served, with weekly allowances that reset.
Nothing new for IT to provision
Matter adds no separate identity system. Access follows your Microsoft Teams or Slack directory, and the security review is short: SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, AES-256, SSO.
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.
