Sounds like “sensitivity training” perhaps...

This is as close as I can come to a meaning:

Perhaps a military person can provide the meaning.

It is a specified period when you do nothing productive but sit around the base theater if you got one and listen to extremists, talk about how you are extremist. I'm sure everyone will be looking forward to it.

“stand down” is a government thing, possibly a military thing too.

Whenever something weird or bad happens, there is the potential for a “stand down” whereby people are to stop doing their jobs for a few minutes and reflect on the event that occurred.

We had a fatality in a power plant several years ago, and as a result, TVA went into a company-wide “stand down” where work was to stop so that we could think about and honor the person that had died.

Never heard of it in the private sector - yeah, we’d get the information and would feel remorse, but we never shut down work production for such an event. Granted, people that knew the victim would take half a day to visit the funeral without any repercussions, but no “stand down”.
