A staggering 79% of people report being dissatisfied at work.

For each disengaged full-time worker, that’s 40% of their waking hours spent feeling stuck, stressed, or disengaged.

That kind of widespread dissatisfaction doesn’t just feel bad. It takes a toll on productivity, health, relationships, creativity—and even the bottom line.

At The Teamwork Shop, we believe work can be better. Generative teamwork leads to happy, productive, and innovative teams.

We’re here to help you build the kind of team where the work actually works—using proven tools that make a real difference.

When teamwork improves, the work itself improves in practical, lived ways.

Benefits of better teamwork

For Managers

  • Move from figuring it out alone to leading with steadiness, using research-backed tools for 1:1s, group dynamics, and hard conversations you can use right away.

  • Shift out of heroic individual contributor mode and into sustainable team leadership, so responsibility is shared and burnout is not the price of caring.

  • Get your footing in messy, cross-functional situations, so competing priorities do not automatically turn into escalation, tension, or constant firefighting.

For Teams

  • Build team resilience and human connection.

  • Reduce miscommunication, rework cycles, and the quiet disengagement that leads good people to leave.

  • Strengthen trust across product, engineering, and operations, so collaboration feels possible even when the work is complex and uncertain.

For Organizations

  • Create a shared language for healthy teamwork, so managers at different levels reinforce the same behaviors instead of working at cross-purposes.

  • Improve performance and retention by investing in the relational skills that enable technically excellent people create solutions that actually work.
