Unconscious Bias Training
Unconscious bias refers to a bias of which we are unaware, and which happens outside of our control. It happens automatically and is triggered by our brain making quick judgements and assessments of people and situations, influenced by our background, cultural environment and personal experiences. These influences have the power to undermine and derail our desire to act justly and fairly towards others, including in our recruitment, promotion and openness to new ideas.
This training session is suitable for those engaged in the stationing invitation process, as well as all members and leaders of the Methodist Church.
This single online 90-minute session includes some preparatory material and follow-up afterwards.
