The Glue Work Framework
Making Invisible Work Count
Every successful team depends on more than just output—it runs on the invisible work that fosters connection, smooths friction, and keeps things moving. This “glue work” often goes unrecognized, despite being critical to collaboration and delivery.
When it’s not acknowledged, those doing it quietly pay the price. That’s why we created the Glue Work Framework Toolkit: a structured, actionable way to make this work visible, measurable, and valued.
How The Glue Work Framework Helps Your Organization
✔ Formalizes Invisible Work – Integrates seamlessly into existing career ladders to ensure glue work is recognized at every level.
✔ Builds Shared Ownership – Distributes glue work across the team, reducing overload on a few individuals.
✔ Boosts Team Performance – Fosters collaboration, trust, and resilience across functions and roles.
✔ Improves Retention – Helps keep your most supportive and steady team members by acknowledging their unseen impact.
✔ Enables Meaningful Measurement – Translates intangible contributions into clear, trackable expectations for reviews and calibrations.
