Rituals Roadmap

Transform your company into workplace magic with the power of rituals!
A human company recognizes that rituals not only have the power to bring people together, but also possess the power to ground us when times are tough. Combining the best practices from top companies like Chipotle, Starbucks, Allbirds, and more, with scientific evidence that reveals why workplace rituals drive productivity, Erica Keswin takes you on a rituals journey through the lens of an employee. Along the way, you’ll meet real “ritual rockstars,” who get it and learn how to use rituals in ways that benefit virtually every business function, from recruiting, hiring, and onboarding to meetings and professional development to maintaining morale during turbulent times.
In her Wall Street Journal bestseller, Bring Your Human to Work, Erica Keswin laid down the rules and protocols of a human workplace. Now, in Rituals Roadmap, she shows you how to implement those rules and further employee engagement, explaining that workplace rituals foster a sense of belonging and help workers connect with one another and their work. Developing a ritual-based engagement strategy produces a happier, healthier workplace where everyone enjoys what they do. And by the way, most workplace rituals won’t cost you a penny.
