Is it illegal for a hotel to force employees to apologize to guests?

Case Facts: Recently, reports on the "Kneeling Gate" incident have aroused heated discussions among netizens and consumers. The incident originated from a report "A customer who didn't buy the hot fried dough sticks complained and two RT-Mart employees knelt down on the spot." Most people think this is exaggerating a small matter. At the same time, since as a service industry, disputes between employees and customers are common, some companies also set up employee "grievance awards", that is, giving employees some rewards as compensation afterwards. In order to resolve disputes with customers, it is advisable to ask employees to kneel down and apologize to customers, although they will be compensated afterwards. But is this approach advisable? Let the editor and everyone listen to the analysis of lawyers. The lawyer said: Employees voluntarily kneel down to apologize to customers, which is a free decision of personal rights and does not violate the mandatory provisions of the law. However, I personally think that this method is not advisable; if others force employees to kneel down to customers, Apologizing is suspected of infringing on the employee's right to human dignity and is an illegal act.
