Transform your company into workplace magic with the power of rituals!
What do a stuffed penguin, a weekly gratitude circle with colleagues, and a Friday night happy hour have in common? They are all real rituals performed by the most human companies to foster employee engagement.
Rituals like these have never mattered more.
Far more than habits and routines, rituals are personal, purposeful, and powerful—they bring people together in real, authentic ways that deeply matter. And in the workplace, rituals can be the glue that holds your workforce together.
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 the best part? Most workplace rituals won’t cost you a penny.
