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.
HR & People Ops
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.
What the data says about running a program
Most of the activity happens without HR touching it.
- 80.9% of recognition is peer to peer across 92,533 verified events; the program runs itself.
- 95% of teams celebrate birthdays and anniversaries automatically.
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.

How do we get people to actually use it?
Recognition needs a rhythm, not a launch email. Companies that use Matter's Feedback Friday™ reminders give 2.5x more recognition, because the prompt arrives every week whether or not anyone remembers to send it.
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.
