Everything it takes to build stronger team relationships.

Rivet is a full team-connection system, not a personality quiz with a leaderboard. From the assessment to guided activities on the calendar, here is exactly what each part does — and why it matters to your people and your leadership.

The assessment

Ten minutes that map how someone really works

Rivet's assessment is built on HEXACO, the personality model researchers reach for when they need to predict real behavior. Six dimensions — Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness — capture how a person communicates, handles pressure, and builds trust. Employees finish it in about ten minutes, and it never feels like a test.

  • Six research-backed traits, not a made-up "type"
  • Warm, plain-language questions that respect people's time
  • Private by default — employees choose what appears on their profile
Compatibility science

Relationship guidance across your entire org

The engine evaluates how teammates are likely to communicate, collaborate, and build trust. Its methodology draws from validated compatibility research and Ryan and Steven's practical work on workplace connection. It weighs shared ground and complementary strengths, and it looks past the org chart to find relationships that can strengthen the team.

  • Decades of compatibility research, adapted for the workplace
  • Tunable toward onboarding, mentorship, or cross-team cohesion
  • Improves as more of your organization joins

Professional profiles

A profile that gives people something to talk about

Rivet builds each person a lightweight professional profile — strengths, working style, what they are up for, a few interests. It is the connective tissue that turns "here is a name" into "here is why you two should meet." Employees decide what to share, so it always feels like theirs.

  • Highlights strengths and working style, not job titles
  • Employee-controlled visibility on every field
  • Gives every activity a natural first line
Guided activities

The right activity at the right moment

Insight without action is just a report. Rivet surfaces a guided activity when it will land — a new hire's second week, a team that has gone quiet across locations — and frames it with a reason the relationship matters. People do not go hunting through a directory; the next step comes to them.

  • Timely, context-aware suggestions
  • Every activity comes with a specific reason to engage
  • Always opt-in — people accept the activities they want
Auto-scheduling

It books the time, so team connection actually happens

This is where good intentions usually die — on the calendar. Rivet finds the open slot, sends the invite, and suggests a simple activity that fits a busy week. No back-and-forth. Just time on the books and a reason to show up.

  • Automatic scheduling around real availability
  • Right-sized activity ideas for busy teams
  • Friendly reminders that keep the habit alive
Admin dashboard & analytics

Proof your program is working

The admin console turns thousands of quiet relationship-building moments into something you can report on. Watch participation climb, see stronger team relationships form across teams and locations, and tie the trend to the outcomes leadership tracks. Launch to one department or the whole company from a single place.

  • Participation, acceptance, and activity at a glance
  • Connection maps across teams, sites, and cohorts
  • Trends ready for a leadership review

Activities

The moment where team connection gets real.

Rivet activities are short, specific, and designed to help people go deeper faster. These examples will be replaced with live app activities and intro videos as soon as they are available.

Common ground

A short prompt that helps two teammates find shared experiences, working styles, or values without forcing small talk.

Builds comfort quickly.

Working with me

Each person shares one thing that helps them do their best work and one thing teammates often misunderstand.

Creates useful context.

Help map

Teammates identify where they can ask each other for help, perspective, or a second set of eyes.

Turns rapport into work value.
