The Rivet Platform
Rivet turns a ten-minute assessment into real working relationships. It reads how people fit, helps the right teammates build trust, and puts the next step on the calendar so team connection becomes a habit, not a hope.
How Rivet works
Every Rivet relationship follows the same arc — from what makes a person tick to a real trust-building activity on the calendar.
Every employee answers a short questionnaire built on the HEXACO model of personality — six research-backed dimensions that predict how someone collaborates, communicates, and builds trust. No quizzes about spirit animals. Just science, in about ten minutes.
Rivet evaluates how teammates are likely to communicate, collaborate, and build trust, drawing on research-backed methodology and the workplace connection expertise of Ryan Jenkins and Steven Van Cohen. It looks past titles and proximity to find relationships that can strengthen the team.
Insight without action is just a report. Rivet gives teammates a clear reason to meet and a structured activity that helps them move beyond surface chat into trust-building conversation.
The reason most team-connection programs fizzle is the calendar. Rivet finds the open slot, sends the invite, and keeps the activity simple enough for a busy week. People just show up. That is the difference between a good intention and a standing habit.
Why Rivet is different
Plenty of software will tell you people should connect more. Rivet is built on the parts that actually help relationships grow.
Grounded in the HEXACO personality model, research-backed compatibility logic, and Ryan and Steven's practical work helping teams move from isolated to connected. Every relationship recommendation traces back to how people fit — not a hunch about who sits near whom.
Rivet doesn’t just tell you who would click — it gives teammates a guided activity and books the time. Insight without action is a report. Rivet is a habit your team keeps without thinking about it.
Faster onboarding, stronger retention, real cohesion across remote and hybrid teams, mentorship that actually forms. Rivet ties team connection to the metrics your leadership already cares about.
For people teams
The admin dashboard turns thousands of quiet relationship-building moments into a picture you can act on. Track participation, watch team relationships form across teams and locations, and tie it back to the outcomes you report on. Roll it out to one department or the whole company from a single console.
Fits your stack
Rivet lives inside the tools your people open every day — chat, calendar, and your HR system — so team connection never means one more app to check. Activities arrive in Slack or Teams, invites land on the calendar, and rosters stay in sync automatically.
Today: Slack, Microsoft Teams, and calendar workflows. Roadmap: HRIS syncs and deeper people-system integrations for larger rollouts.
Personality data belongs to your people. Rivet is built with privacy at the center — encrypted, access-controlled, and never sold. Enterprise plans can include SSO/SAML, SCIM provisioning, data-processing agreements, and role-based admin access.
