Equality Impact Assessment – Results

Title of Policy: Scottish Government Employer Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

Summary of aims and desired outcomes of Policy: Key principles of the strategy are that it will be:

• Impact focussed

• Multi strand and intersectional
• Supplemented by equality strand specific action where needed

This will drive progress towards our two employer equality outcomes:

• Outcome 2: By 2025, workforce culture will be more inclusive with employees from all backgrounds and characteristics and experiences reporting they feel increasingly valued.
