In your opinion, are rites of initiation in the workplace a good thing?

Answer 1

Answer: Rites of initiation is a good thing at the workplace. The answer is explained further below.

Explanation:

Initiation is the rite of passage marking the entrance or acceptance into an organization, a group or a society. The rite of initiation I experienced at a place of work was when I worked as an intern for a firm and I was told that the rite of initiation was for me to sing my favourite song. I actually sang my favorite song and it was fun and I was welcomed into the organization and introduced myself.

I believe rites of initiation are important at the workplace. It helps to increase engagement, boost employee moral, and also foster a supportive culture. It also enable the organization reach its goals as the workers are united and work as a team.
