combined effort

Working together purposefully

A combined effort is work done jointly by multiple people or groups toward a shared goal.

The phrase emphasizes pooling resources, skills, or energy: It took a combined effort from the whole neighborhood to clean up after the storm.

Often appears when crediting collective rather than individual achievement.
