At joyful, we believe in putting the “cult” into “culture” and so we love a good ritual 😉 j/k
They are like the security blanket of corporate culture.
They give us comfort.
Remind us of our larger why.
Focus our attention.
Bind us together.
And, reduce our stress.
Research has shown that a good ritual will actually help us focus less on our mistakes and stay in the flow of performance longer.
One of our joyful rituals is The Gathering. Twice a week, we come together for 15 minutes to connect and be inspired.
Lead by that week’s team member, we might engage in a prompt, “What tradition do you hold that brings you joy?”
Other times, we showcase a piece of work or engage in a showing of gratitude toward recent efforts.
Some days we just banter about our weekend.
The Gathering is there, twice a week every week, to help us pause, get inspired, and keep everyone connected.
Rituals matter!
