Features
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
