OptimizeTeamwork.com Expands Free Team Communication Health Check to Michigan Managers

New five-minute diagnostic helps Michigan teams identify communication breakdowns before they turn into turnover, conflict, or missed goals

ANN ARBOR, MI, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OptimizeTeamwork.com, a leadership and team-development firm, today announced that Michigan managers can now use its free team communication health check to diagnose collaboration problems in under five minutes.

The tool is available at https://optimizeteamwork.com/team-communication-health-check/.

The 15-question assessment scores team communication as healthy, at-risk, or poor across five core areas: clarity of message, feedback quality, meeting effectiveness, conflict comfort, and cross-functional coordination. Users receive an immediate score and a short, behavior-based action plan they can use without waiting for a scheduled workshop.

WHY MICHIGAN TEAMS NEED BETTER COMMUNICATION NOW

Michigan employers face the same workforce pressures affecting the rest of the country: hybrid work, employee turnover, generational differences, and the need to do more with smaller teams. Poor communication remains one of the most expensive problems in the workplace. Research from the Association for Talent Development shows that 87% of leaders report a critical need for clearer communication skills.

When teams communicate poorly, projects slip, conflicts escalate, and top performers leave. The cost is measured in lost productivity, missed deadlines, and recruitment expenses. For Michigan manufacturers, healthcare systems, professional services firms, and educational institutions, the problem is especially urgent because collaboration directly affects quality, safety, and customer outcomes.

“Most teams wait until a blowup happens before they address communication,” said Dr. Rachel Cubas-Wilkinson, founder of OptimizeTeamwork.com. “This tool gives managers an early warning system. It takes five minutes to complete and points to the exact behavior or culture dynamic that needs attention. We built it from the same framework we use with Fortune 500 teams, but any manager can use it.”
