Hey there PH! 🥳 Today is the day! We’re releasing Matter for Teams! Now, you can use Matter with your ENTIRE team by creating a workspace! From there, your team has unlimited access to Kudos, Slack integration, and more! Matter for teams is available today and includes: 👏 Kudos: Giving public praises made easy with three fun templates for every occasion. Available for all workspaces. 🤩 Feedback Rituals: Add feedback to your weekly ritual. Start a weekly habit of sharing public praises and feedback with your team. ⚡️ Slack Integration: From sharing public praise to continuous feedback, do everything and more all inside Slack. On behalf of the Matter team, I’d like to thank the Product Hunt community for all the support and feedback you’ve given us. We wouldn’t be where we are today without your support every step of the way! We're all ears, so don’t forget to leave any questions or feedback down below! Brett Founder, Matter

@bretthellman Good luck with the launch Matter team
Simon Barker
@bretthellman Well done! We had an internal version at my previous company and was really nice. They did a monthly prize for the top three receivers of praise and a prize for the person who gave the most praise. The only downside was if you were on a team that didn't interact with the wider business all that much you never got many which could have a detrimental impact on that teams morale, would be nice to solve that.
@bretthellman This looks great. Congrats on the version 2.0. Going to get the whole SaaS Industry team on it :)
Brett Hellman
@nick_gor Thank you!
Brett Hellman
@simon_barker1 thank you! We love the monthly prize idea and will likely explore that as an enhancement in the future.

Happy team - productive team!

@cn__katie We do our best work when we feel our best.

@cn__katie for all those still in doubt, here's some research outlining how a leader or teammate taking just a few moments a day can improve your entire team's performance. Research by Oxford University's Saïd Business School: "Happy workers are 13% more productive" "'We found that when workers are happier, they work faster by making more calls per hour worked and, importantly, convert more calls to sales,’ said Professor De Neve. The authors state that while the link between happiness and productivity has often been discussed, their study provides the first causal field evidence for this relationship. ‘There has never been such strong evidence,’ said Professor De Neve." https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2019-1... The takeaway, dedicate 15m a day to let someone on your team know they are doing a great job. Matter's Ritual feature makes this a breeze: https://matterapp.com/feedback-r...

@cn__katie Absolutely! Team work makes dream work. We believe recognition plays an essential role in every team culture!

@cn__katie Feedback Rituals + Kudos + Slack Integration = Happy and productive teams 🤩
Pierre Kraus
Well needed, especially with the current evolution of our work culture. Working remotely while maintaining a sense of unity between team members is essential for the long term success of a company.
Brett Hellman
@pierre_kraus I could not have said it better myself. Thank you for the comment. It used to be a little easier pre-pandemic. After a meeting, you'd take a colleague for a walk/coffee and hear their feedback on how a meeting could have gone even better. Now, we're all so eager to get off Zoom we no longer have the opportunity to get quick feedback after a meeting. Matter is perfect for remote teams that embrace the growth-mindset.
Pierre Kraus
@bretthellman Hard to beat the coffee talk that often solves more problems than a whole meeting ahah. Glad that Matter provides a solution to reinforce relationships!

@pierre_kraus Matter’s integration with Slack has been a game changer to get our team to adopt the new ritual of celebrating while working remote is 🔥 🔥
Pierre Kraus
@tai_tran_matter Love it! How many team members do you have (just to have an idea of Matter's impact on your remote culture)?
Octavian Codrea
Interesting product. I think it's easy to get caught in the loop of worrying and constantly chasing deadlines at work, so much so that it's common to neglect the fact that everybody has their own worries and challenges themselves. A kind word or an acknowledgement of effort can always have a positive impact.
Brett Hellman
@xgrv Exactly why we created the Ritual feature in Matter.
Tai Tran
@xgrv Kudos and public praise can go a long way! I couldn’t agree more that the modern teams rarely take a breather to share appreciation!
Dixita Limbachia
@xgrv Could not agree more 🙌 Just sending a quick Kudos to a peer for their hard work can make a world of a difference 😻
Crina Craciun
@xgrv, @robertgavriles1 I think that declaring and giving a reason why an aspect of a design is good or great in our work ,helps us understand why it's ok to keep it and prevents us from changing it ineffectively. Happy to try Matter!
Veronika Nesheva
❤️ the idea of the feedback ritual (big sucker for self improvement here :) ) , aside from improving team morale and enhancing culture, it has the huge added benefit of making the preparation of performance reviews much easier :) Is there an option to also make notes about yourself / other people without them being sent anywhere? Really like that it is all from Slack, decreases friction and thus makes it easier to create a habit of giving and receiving feedback regularly. :)
Brett Hellman
@veronica_nesheva Ritual really does make feedbacking a breeze. From Thankful Tuesday to Feedback Friday, make feedback a part of your culture. Internally at Matter, we use Friday ("Feedback Friday"). I'm often blown away by the huge % of people that participate and the hugely positive impact it has in the company. Ritual, you'll love it.
Tai Tran
@veronica_nesheva You can always send private Kudos via Slack or our web app, Veronica! I love the idea of sending yourself kudos. Self celebration and introspection is underrated. I am sending this to our product team to add this to our backlog!
Brett Hellman
@veronica_nesheva @tai_tran_matter love that, thank you!
Dixita Limbachia
@veronica_nesheva Love love the idea of sending yourself Kudos, that's a great idea. Sometimes you have to be your own cheerleader! Like Tai mentioned, we can definitely bring this to the product team! 🙌
Veronika Nesheva
Thanks @bretthellman , @tai_tran_matter , @dixita_limbachia ! I know I should be suggesting problems rather than features, but this is what I was thinking. As you also hinted, the self reflection data could be used in multiple ways • one could be for self kudos or snippets of reflection points that one can start their day with (helps with motivation and higher focus when it comes to self improvement) • the other could be more of a log of what you have done/achieved/learned that is easy to organise and search I have my version of both and am personally finding them very useful.
Ionut Anisia
What a great tool to encourage people to interact more. I think this is essential for a team and helps build the healthy and strong relationships. Great job @bretthellman and team!
Brett Hellman
@ionut_anisia Wahoo! Thank you!
Tai Tran
@bretthellman @ionut_anisia Thank you! We’re hoping to do our part in building happier work environments!

?makers #kudos to you for sharing Matter with the PH community! Was wondering if it's possible to connect with an existing #kudos channel on Slack?
Brett Hellman
@adityavsc It sure is! If you run into any trouble, just let me know - brett @ matterapp.com
Tai Tran
@adityavsc Absolutely! Once you integrate your Slack workspace with Matter, you'll be able to select or create a new channel for kudos!

Great job! This looks amazing!
Brett Hellman
@benogle Thank you Ben! I'm honored to share that some of your code is still in the codebase :-)
Ben Ogle
@bretthellman Nice! The game I assume ;)
Brett Hellman
@benogle the game 🤦‍♂️ No, that lived for about 1 week. Sorry about that... What is still in the codebase is the Skill Charts you created. https://matterapp.com/blog/new-f...
Tai Tran
@benogle Thank you for being part of our journey since Day One, Ben! Hoping the team at Anvil is doing well! 🚀
Dixita Limbachia
@benogle All thanks to the amazing Matter team 🥳💜
Georgina Fooks
Love the Slack integration!
Brett Hellman
@georgie_fooks Thank you! Our customers love it too!
Tai Tran
@georgie_fooks Slack has been a game changer for us too! I use Matter with my nonprofit outside fo the work and the ability to recognize inside Slack makes a world difference in engagement!
Dixita Limbachia
@georgie_fooks We're OBSESSED with Slack Integration. You should see our Slack channel on #FeedbackFriday 😎
