Can radical belonging really deter workplace violence?

It’s that time again!  RECON NIGHT TACTICAL DEFENSE’S Thursday lunch and learn series. Join us every Thursday at noon EDT (except for this week:) to learn about RECON NIGHT and uproot different self-defense in the workplace training topics. Here’s what we’ll be serving up this week.

In an initiative led by the United States Secret Service called the Safe School Initiative, this highly renowned defense agency determined that connection through human relationships is a central component of safety and respect.

We’ll be building on the research that we learned about in our last session that reveals the stories and mentality of many mass shooters and take a look at the data on connection and belonging that the Secret Service and other leading experts have determined to be viable protection mechanisms.

Belonging begins when we move past empathy and begin to see people for who they are as an individual and become inquisitive about what they experience and have experienced as they move through the world as who they are. We have to teach people how to do this in the workplace and this is a core tenet of radical belonging.
