<p>In common with most other Government Departments, BIS currently has three performance
categories; category 1 (top), category 2 and category 3. The following table sets
out the percentage of employees who have declared a disability within each performance
category, and the percentage of all other staff in each performance category for the
2013-14 reporting year. The percentage of all other staff includes those who have
either declared that they do not have a disability, have chosen the option of ‘prefer
not to say' or have not made a declaration. 6.5% of staff BIS have currently declared
that they have a disability.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Percentage</p></td><td><p>Category

employees.</p>
