Employee Recognition Software for Manufacturing Teams
Manufacturing teams attach rewards to 89% of their kudos on Matter, the highest of any industry. Fast, tangible appreciation that works for the floor, not just the front office.
Manufacturing & Industrial
89% of kudos carry a reward, the highest attachment of any industry.
Deskless teams get left out of desk-built programs
Plant floors run on shifts, not inboxes. Manufacturing writes the shortest recognition notes we measured, a 9-word median, and attaches the most rewards: fast acknowledgment plus something tangible fits the pace of the floor.
Matter matches that pace: quick kudos with coins attached, redeemable for gift cards employees actually want, in 200+ countries.
How Matter works on the floor
Fast recognition with something tangible attached.
1. Kudos with coins
Fast recognition with a small reward attached, built for the pace of the floor. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.
2. Gift card rewards
10,000+ reward options across 200+ countries, redeemed by employees themselves. Gift cards span 10,000+ options across 200+ countries, redeemed by employees themselves.
3. Celebrations
Birthdays and work anniversaries post automatically across every shift. Celebrations pull dates from your directory or HRIS and post on their own.
