Abstract: Objective: to measure the organizational climate in the work of professionals from Family Health Strategy (FHS) teams.<br />Method: a cross-sectional study carried out with 458 professionals belonging to 72 FHS teams in a municipality in Southern Brazil. Data collection occurred between March and July of 2016 with self-application of the Team Climate Inventory (TCI). Data were analyzed by means of a non-parametric ANOVA.<br />Results: "Team Participation" was the best-rated domain (8.11), while "Task orientation" was the worst (7.51). Nurses obtained the highest mean in TCI (8.05), and dentists, the lowest (7.45).<br />Conclusion: TCI is an appropriate and innovative tool for assessing the teamwork climate at the FHS. Identifying fragilities such as "task orientation" and relationships among professional categories of the team supports the planning of actions for organizational climate improvements and teamwork at the FHS.
