Employee Recognition Software for Healthcare Teams

Healthcare & Life Sciences
Recognition that works on shift schedules. 65% participation across 115 healthcare orgs at 100+ employees.
Recognition programs fail on the clinical floor
Nurses and frontline staff rarely sit at a desk, rarely check email, and never want another login. Recognition tools built for office workers quietly exclude the people who need appreciation most.
Healthcare also runs the steadiest recognition week of any industry we measured: appreciation flows every day, not just Fridays. Your platform should meet that rhythm instead of fighting it.
How Matter works on a clinical schedule
Built around shifts and floors, not desks and inboxes.
1. Kudos without new logins
Recognition happens inside Microsoft Teams or Slack, where staff already coordinate shifts. No new passwords for clinical staff, ever. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.
2. Feedback Friday
A weekly ritual that keeps appreciation flowing across units and shifts, automated so charge nurses never have to run it. Feedback Friday posts a kickoff, a reminder, and a recap every week, automatically.
3. Celebrations on autopilot
Birthdays and work anniversaries post automatically, so milestones never slip between shift changes. Celebrations pull dates from your directory or HRIS and post on their own.
Recognition that reaches the floor
Clinical staff never create an account. Matter runs inside the Microsoft Teams or Slack workspace your organization already uses, and membership follows your directory automatically.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do nurses and frontline staff need email accounts or new logins?
No. Matter runs inside Microsoft Teams or Slack, and membership syncs from your directory automatically. If a staff member can open Teams, they can give and receive recognition.
Is Matter secure enough for a healthcare organization?
Matter is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and GDPR compliant, with AES-256 encryption and SSO support. Matter handles recognition data, not patient data.
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.
