Hi. I am a business anthropologist specializing in workforce issues, with more than 20 years of experience talking to people to find out what they think and what they do. Click here to view my CV.
I can help you with company or community outreach, facilitating the conversations that will get you the feedback you need. See my service offerings below.
My background in anthropology gives me the training to make connections with all sorts of different people, and to make connections between all sorts of people. Whether you need to manage real-time communications among colleagues at various levels of the company, or conduct community outreach to engage with your customers in their space, I can handle those conversations so that you get valuable information that can translate into actionable steps to improve relations for all.
As a specialist in labor anthropology, I can provide you with a clear-eyed view of the level of engagement your employees commonly experience and what you can do to improve it. I will work with your management and supervisory staff to help them get the best from their direct reports and change the workplace culture at your company to one of cheerful energy and collegiality.
"Dr. Rivers helped our team create a thoughtful process that brought together those with workforce systems expertise and those with lived experience to identify a set of recommendations to remove barriers to workforce participation. These recommendations were the focus of our 2023 Emerging Issues Forum and have since been presented to workforce boards, local chambers of commerce, and other important stakeholder groups."
