Erika Riviere

Erika’s educational background is as impressive as it is diverse. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Victoria, and didn’t stop there—she went on to complete a Post-Degree Diploma in Human Resources Management at Camosun College. Now, she’s busy working towards her CPHR (Chartered Professional in Human Resources) and CCP (Certified Compensation Professional) certifications, constantly pushing herself to stay ahead in the ever-evolving HR field.

Erika got her start in HR at just 17 years old, jumping into a role at Target Canada. From handling resumes and scheduling to addressing employee concerns and ensuring workplace compliance, she thrived in the bustling retail setting. It was here, amid the daily challenges, that Erika discovered her true passion for HR, a discovery that defined her professional path early on—even before she fully knew what being an HR generalist entailed.

Now, Erika is deeply invested in Career Development and Compensation. She’s passionate about helping others navigate their career trajectories, providing valuable advice and strategies to propel their professional growth. She’s just as focused on making sure compensation practices are not only fair but also motivating and aligned with the broader goals of the organizations she works with. Her commitment enhances both individual careers and organizational success.

The key to making substantial improvements in the workplace: Be Kind!

In the start-up world, Erika has proven her mettle by building HR departments from the ground up. She’s great at working alongside founders and business leaders, aligning people strategies with business goals seamlessly. Known for her knack in coaching and mentoring managers on effective performance management, she fosters strong relationships and makes sure everyone feels valued, comfortable, and listened to, thereby cultivating an inclusive and thriving workplace.

Outside of work, Erika channels her creativity into cooking, particularly loving her slow cooker for its simplicity and the delicious meals it helps her whip up. Her phone is packed with recipes, a testament to her love for easy gourmet cooking. When she’s not in the kitchen, you can find her scouring Pinterest for the latest in fashion, or diving deep into the world of skincare and wellness, always excited to try out the newest products and routines. Her array of interests—from cooking to fashion and wellness—highlights her commitment to a lifestyle that’s as healthy as it is stylish.
