Due to the consolidation of numbers, some minor rounding variations can occur between employee numbers in the report. This rounding does not affect the overall position or integrity of the numbers reported.

All employees: by ethnicity

Other ethnic groups	8.1	29.2	26.3	26.6	27.0

Notes

Employees are given the option of recording multiple ethnic groups. If an employee has chosen to do this they are counted in each group selected, so the percentages in this table will add to more than 100%.
Figures are given on a full time equivalent basis, meaning that employees working on a part time basis are summed to an equivalent of a full time employee.
Numbers do not include employees on leave without pay.
Population statistics are from the 2013 Census and include all people who stated each ethnic group, whether as their only ethnic group or as one of several ethnic groups. Where a person reported more than one ethnic group, they have been counted in each applicable group.
