In each organization, certain cultural, ethical, moral, legal, ritual norms and rules arise. The most prominent examples of tools for managing organizations are rituals and rituals. This article is devoted to the application of rituals and ceremonies in specific work collectives. The focus of the article is on the examination of the initiation rite. The Introduction reveals the relevance of the topic. It is determined by a high social demand for the creation of ritual and ritual institutions. The definition of ritual and ceremony is given. The most demanded rite in modern society - initiation - is considered. A certain need for initiation has developed in society, which some authors call "initiation hunger." The definition of the specificity of the labor collective is given. Within the framework of this article, it refers to the work of a social group in conditions of social isolation. The Theoretical Substantiation examines the works of both foreign anthropologists, ethnographers, religious scholars, and contemporary philosophers and psychologists. Since the specificity of the labor collective lies in its isolation, the problem of “entering” the sacred collective arises. Every novice trainee goes through three stages. First, he “separates” from his usual social environment, then goes through a period of study, during which he accepts the norms and rules of the social group. Then comes the stage of "inclusion", where the newcomer acquires the status of a full-fledged member of the team. In the Discussion of the results, the author proceeds with a dialogue with employees - specialists of ADS (track measuring cars). The workers reacted positively to the discussion of the importance of rituals, ceremonies, and especially initiation. As examples and tools of initiation, the interviewed ADS specialists suggested a whole range of technologies and rules. It turned out that many of these specialists had already used ceremonies and rituals in the collective of ADS (track measuring cars) and they were invented not consciously, but spontaneously - by the collective unconscious.
