Diversity and inclusion matters. Both are at the heart of what we believe in and are essential to what we want to achieve

National Museums Scotland believes that everyone should expect to be treated with respect, to be treated fairly and to have the opportunity to reach their potential.

We are committed to building a workforce which better reflects and understands the diversity of Scotland’s communities. Having different perspectives and experiences helps us become more innovative and creative, improves our decision-making and creates value that benefits everyone.

We foster an inclusive workplace that respects and values the unique contributions that each team member brings. Through strengthening a culture of inclusion, respect and understanding we want everyone to feel like they belong and are empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.

Cultivating an inclusive environment, for our visitors and our colleagues, is the responsibility of us all. As well as formal measurement and reporting, we invest in training opportunities for every new member of staff that champion diversity and inclusion and the value of working collaboratively with others.
