Matter

Employee recognition software for Slack and Microsoft Teams

Visit Matter

Matter is employee recognition software that operates within Slack and Microsoft Teams, helping organizations turn appreciation, feedback, and culture initiatives into everyday habits. It addresses the challenge of keeping recognition consistent and visible by placing kudos, celebrations, and surveys directly in the tools employees already use, while giving administrators a central place to manage programs and gather insights.

Core capabilities include peer-to-peer kudos with customizable templates, company values recognition, Feedback Friday reminders, automatic birthday and work anniversary celebrations, and goal-based challenges. Recognition can carry Matter coins, which employees redeem for eGift cards, premium gifts, company swag, charitable donations, and flexible payout options. The platform also provides culture analytics and reporting, plus employee surveys including pulse surveys, eNPS, and onboarding surveys. Integrations connect Matter to Slack and Microsoft Teams, as well as HRIS and payroll systems such as BambooHR, Rippling, Workday, ADP Workforce Now, Gusto, Paylocity, HiBob, Deel, Personio, and SAP SuccessFactors.

Matter is designed for people teams, HR leaders, and managers who want to run recognition and feedback programs without leaving their collaboration tools. The product is available through a free plan, with a free setup for Slack and Microsoft Teams and no credit card required. Additional editions and enterprise options are available for organizations that need broader integrations, advanced security, or dedicated support.
