Making Coercive Control Tactics Visible in the Workplace **Special BSC Forum, June 6, 11am Central
What do you know about coercive control? Do you know it isn't only the tactics used in domestic abuse and family violence?
Coercive control can be used against "targets" in schools, at universities, in courts, in religious groups, non-profit and professional organization policies and procedures, business meetings, or in dealings with the government and government agencies. Customers and providers of goods and services can be targets also! It can be effective against anyone of any age or gender.
It can look like effective leadership, a critical productivity booster or even an important safety measure. The results of letting it continue can destroy teams trying to work together and pull friends and colleagues or family members apart or worse. It can result in suicide, murder of the controller or target or innocent bystanders, or broken bones or broken minds because people didn't know what they were seeing or hearing and did nothing or worse, the wrong thing.
You're seeing and hearing stories now about it on the news, in social media, in new laws and proposed legislation etc. — bullying in schools and businesses, Doomsday Murder Trial, violence on planes and in medical facilities, Gabby Petito Case, Piqui's Law, Violence Against Nurses Law — but it's not called by its real name or recognized for what it is. As a leader, you need to be aware and are required by law and good management to take action.
It could even be happening to you now or you could have been a survivor who still is vulnerable and can be triggered by the trauma again in professional work settings. It is called different things in different contexts and uses different but similar behavior that can be identified. If you know what to look for.
