New Hire Onboarding
Almost 50% of teams send their first recognition within 15 minutes.

First weeks decide first years

New hires decide fast whether they belong. A public welcome kudos in week one and a check-in survey in week two beat any onboarding packet.

Onboarding surveys delivered in Slack or Teams get a 46.5% response rate on Matter, so you actually hear how the first 30, 60, and 90 days are going.

How Matter shapes the first 90 days

Welcome people publicly, then catch friction early.

1

Welcome kudos

Public recognition that makes day one feel like belonging. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.

2

Onboarding surveys

Automated check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days, answered where new hires already work. Onboarding surveys go out at the cadence you set, with no reminders to send.

3

Celebrations

Birthdays and first anniversaries captured from day one. Celebrations pull dates from your directory or HRIS and post on their own.

New hires are in from day one

Membership syncs from Slack or Microsoft Teams, so a new employee joins the recognition program the moment they join the workspace.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Are new hires added automatically?

Yes. Membership syncs from your Slack or Teams directory, so new employees join the recognition program the moment they join the workspace.

When do onboarding surveys go out?

You set the cadence. Most teams check in during the first weeks and again around 30, 60, and 90 days, all delivered in Slack or Teams.

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.

Compare Matter with the tool you use now →

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.
