Teamwork training was followed by 12 employees who were less able to work in groups. Research data were processed by using a paired sample t-test. The result of this study indicates that teamwork training can improve the working group cohesiveness (T = -4.114, p <0.05). Teamwork training can improve team cohesiveness.
