The Glue Work Framework

Make the 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.


Indra’s webinar helped me make the invisible visible. I set up separate billing codes for my contracted work and the glue work I was doing, which allowed me to track, value, and set boundaries around the extra work that keeps teams connected. Now I manage my workload sustainably, and my clients see the full impact of what I do.
