Internal Communications
85% of recognition is public. Make the wins visible.

The best stories never reach the newsletter

Internal comms spends its life hunting for authentic employee stories while thousands of them happen in team channels, unrecorded. Public recognition is a self-generating feed of exactly that content.

Every public kudos is a story with a name, a specific win, and built-in engagement when colleagues pile on their own thanks.

How Matter feeds your channels

A steady supply of specific, authentic employee stories.

1

Public kudos feed

A live stream of authentic wins, named and specific, in the channels people already read. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.

2

Celebrations content

Birthdays and anniversaries create daily moments of connection without a content calendar. Celebrations pull dates from your directory or HRIS and post on their own.

3

Feedback Friday

A predictable weekly beat of positive stories to amplify. Feedback Friday posts a kickoff, a reminder, and a recap every week, automatically.

Content that lives in the channels people read

Recognition posts where your teams already are, so the stories reach people without another newsletter or intranet page.

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.
The setup was extremely easy. It had good UX and interface. People knew how to intuitively use it. The channel got popular in the first two weeks.
Mathis Bogen, Head of Internal Communications at Bolt

Frequently asked questions

Which channels does recognition post to?

Wherever you add Matter. Most teams run a company-wide recognition channel plus team channels, so wins are visible at both levels.

Can employees react and add on?

Yes. Colleagues can add their own thanks to someone else's kudos, which is where a lot of the amplification comes from.

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.
