Teampositive

Teampositive is a nonprofit consultancy and research group devoted to improving teamwork and workplace well-being. The organization develops and delivers programs that combine positive psychology with evidence-based organizational development, aiming to create collaborative cultures in businesses, schools, and public-sector agencies.

Founded in 2012 in Boston by Dr. Lena Hart and a core group of researchers and practitioners, Teampositive operates internationally through a network of partner firms and certified facilitators. It conducts action research on team dynamics and publishes findings in reports and case studies.

Programs include in-person workshops, virtual training, coaching for leaders, and assessment services such as the TeamPulse survey and stay-in-team ActionPlan framework. The tools emphasize psychological safety, psychological capital, and constructive feedback.

Structure and funding: the organization is governed by a board of directors and an advisory council, with a staff of researchers, trainers, and program managers. Revenue comes from client engagements, training subscriptions, and occasional grants.

Impact and reception: client engagements report improvements in collaboration, engagement, and project delivery times, though independent evaluation remains limited in some areas. Critics note the complexity of isolating cultural change from other factors and call for rigorous measurement.
