Essential Geopolitics: Identifying the Risks of Workplace Violence

In this episode of RANE's Essential Geopolitics podcast powered by Stratfor, Emily Donahue speaks with Garrick Bell. Bell is Stratfor Security analyst at RANE. Over one June weekend in 2021, mass shootings in the United States left 6 people dead and nearly 40 others injured. That’s the kind of statistic that would have stopped Americans cold just 2 decades ago. These days, a headline like that barely makes a ripple. Here’s another statistic: since the pandemic, nearly half of all workplace violence incidents reported were against frontline healthcare workers.  Now, security experts - including RANE - are encouraging businesses to be prepared to avert workplace violence as they reopen.
