Chorei, an Essential Ritual for Group Cohesion

It could be referred to as ‘taking stock’. In France, the daily newspapers hold daily editorial meetings to discuss the previous edition and the topics for the day. But every morning in workplaces in Japan, once the exercises on Radio Calisthenics are finished, it’s time for chorei: a morning meeting for all members of staff.
Generally, the manager greets the employees, they recite the company motto and the heads of department look over the schedule for the day. It’s also the time to get a clear picture of current issues.
Chorei is the perfect representation of Japanese companies, where many activities are organised to help team bonding, such as the bonenkai (an end-of-year celebration) or shain-ryoko (company trip).
