About WorkPatterns

WorkPatterns is the modern manager’s toolkit. We’re improving workplace relationships with a framework for better 1:1s, AI-assisted feedback, and simplified goal setting. We help all managers become great managers by improving team performance, job satisfaction, and morale.

Our product is already making an impact by helping teams adapt to new hybrid work environments. We have over 300 paying customers including teams at Apple, Nike, Panasonic, Peloton, and many more. 

We are a small and nimble team of experienced entrepreneurs, technical talent, and product minds. We’ve focused from our founding in 2018 on developing our own flexible hybrid work system, well before it was “cool.” We’re primarily remote, but meet in person for quarterly onsites in great spots like San Francisco, Los Angeles and have plans to expand to exciting destinations like Mexico City, Costa Rica, and others. This structure allows us to keep meetings to a minimum so people can focus on deep work, and set their schedules around when and where they work best.
