TeamArbejdsliv = Team Working Life
Who We Are
Team Working Life is a private research and consulting company. Our aim is to promote the well-being, health, safety, and working conditions for managers and employees across various industries through research, evaluation, and consultancy. Our work is based on:
- A high level of professional and theoretical knowledge gained through participation in research projects
- Extensive knowledge of specific occupational health problems across work settings gained through consultancy and advisory services
- Methodological strength and practice-oriented knowledge acquired through evaluation and process development tasks
Our History
Team Working Life was founded in April 2005 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Today, our company is owned by six partners and employs four staff members, students and interns (see staff list). Our team covers different disciplinary backgrounds, which is useful in our collaborative work to provide research, consultancy, and evidence-informed practical tools for workplaces and policymakers.
What We Do
At Team Working Life we are conducting applied research, evaluations, and providing consultancy within the fields of occupational health, work disability prevention, health and safety management, leadership, and workplace change and learning. It is our firm belief that uniting the areas of applied research, evaluation, and consultancy creates synergies in practice, which gives us unique opportunities for supporting managers and employees in identifying their challenges and developing suitable solutions to improve their working lives. Our three areas of expertise include:
Research for Better Practice
Team Working Life is conducting research with the aim to generate knowledge that is of value to practice and practitioners. Much of our research is funded by Public Research Funds, which guaranties high international quality and high relevance for organizations and workplaces. We share the results with the organizations we collaborate with, and engage researchers and other relevant stakeholders such as; health and safety professionals and labor authorities, human resource managers, occupational physicians, and unions and employer associations in knowledge transfer and exchange to improve the working environment and well-being at work.
Evaluation with Purpose
Team Working Life has gained extensive experience in evaluating public and private programs. We focus on ‘what works’ and ‘what matters’ and aim to contribute to improvement of practice among professionals and at company level. We always design our evaluations in collaboration with the clients to clarify the aim and the most suitable type of evaluation. On the one hand, we wish to strike a balance between qualitative depth and insight, and on the other, we strive for quantitative breadth and validity.
Consultancy for Improved Working Life
Team Working Life strives to help develop and support sustainable working lives and thriving workplace cultures. We take pride in shared development and adjustment of our services in collaboration with our clients. We have a large variety of services and types of clients – public and private, small, medium-sized, and large workplaces. We are also certified by the Danish Working Environment Authority (WEA) to conduct investigations of the psychosocial working environment in organizations who received an investigation notice by the WEA following an inspection/audit of work health and safety. Such a notice is issued in cases where the WEA suspects that the company is having problems with their psychosocial working environment.
External Collaboration
We value our many projects’ partners and collaborators, who keep us up to date on work and health issues and ensure knowledge exchange and knowledge use in practice. We have visiting scientists, and students who come to collaborate and consult with us. Team Working Life has university affiliations (i.e. adjunct scientists/ass. professors) at University of Copenhagen, Roskilde University in Denmark, and Institute for Work and Health in Canada.
Team Working Life is member of the board of Relational Coordination Collaborative and has been at the forefront of applying relational coordination principles and metrics to foster positive organizational change in the Danish public sector.
