Case Study: Rivian achieves greater productivity and collaboration with Slack

Slack Admin of the Year Sheryl Anderson builds a best-in-class Slack culture to drive Rivian forward

Rivian, the electric vehicle company focused on sustainability and rapid growth, needed a better way to unify collaboration across offices, factories, showrooms, and partner sites. With headcount rising quickly, Rivian also had to improve hiring and onboarding while maintaining enterprise-grade compliance and security. It turned to Slack to support this challenge and help employees work more efficiently.

Slack was implemented across the business with strong adoption driven by Digital Workplace manager Sheryl Anderson, reaching 85% company-wide usage and more than 15,000 monthly active users. Slack’s channels, threads, @mentions, search, apps, and workflows helped Rivian speed onboarding by 76%, integrate 231 applications and 1,000 workflows, and save an estimated $8.2 million annually. Slack also supported external collaboration through Slack Connect and enabled better decision-making with data and automation.
