Employee Recognition Software for HR and People Ops

Companies that use Matter's Feedback Friday™ reminders give 2.5x more recognition. HR sets it up once; the ritual, celebrations, and rewards run themselves.

Run the whole program from Slack or Teams, with analytics leadership will read.

You should not be the program's engine

Most recognition programs run on HR's personal energy: chasing managers, posting reminders, exporting spreadsheets. The month HR gets busy is the month the program dies.

Matter automates the engine. The weekly ritual, birthdays, anniversaries, and reward fulfillment run on their own, and analytics arrive ready for the leadership deck.

How Matter runs itself

The parts of the program you stop having to manage.

1

Feedback Friday automation

The weekly recognition prompt runs itself, no reminder emails from HR required. Feedback Friday posts a kickoff, a reminder, and a recap every week, automatically.

2

Celebrations

Birthdays and anniversaries handled automatically, dates collected self-serve or via HRIS sync. Celebrations pull dates from your directory or HRIS and post on their own.

3

Analytics

Participation, trends, and recognition flow, ready for the leadership deck. Analytics show participation and recognition flow by team in real time.

No rollout project to run

Setup is about two minutes plus a few more to customize. Users sync from Slack or Microsoft Teams, so there is no HRIS dependency before launch.

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 has completely changed how we celebrate each other's work. It is no longer a quick email that gets buried or a comment that only a few people hear. Now recognition is out in the open, shared instantly, and seen by the whole team. People feel appreciated in real time, and that energy is contagious.

Frequently asked questions

How much admin time does Matter take?

Setup is about 2 minutes plus 5 to 10 to customize. After that the ritual, celebrations, and reward fulfillment are automated, and most admin work disappears.

What reporting do I get?

Real-time analytics on participation, recognition flow, values usage, and trends, with 30-day history on Free and unlimited history on paid plans.

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.

Can we switch from another recognition tool?

Yes. Matter converts existing point balances, migration is free on paid plans, and teams under 100 people typically switch in 1 to 2 days, under 1,000 in under a week. See alternatives and comparisons.

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.
