Storytelling is now recognized as an important way to understand how employees
make sense of what happens at work. Storytelling is the sharing of knowledge and
experiences through narrative and anecdotes to communicate lessons, complex ideas,
concepts, and causal connections. Rituals are defined as “a form of social action in
which a group’s values and identity are publicly demonstrated or enacted in a stylized
manner, within the context of a specific occasion or event.” Symbols represent the
sharing of knowledge through access and exposure to images, diagrams, or objects,
which represent or illustrate a culture value or an idea. Organizations may have specific
language, jargon, or acronyms that can be confusing to a new employee. These terms and usage may be unique to the organization and represents the organizational culture
and how it is transmitted to newcomers.
