“As a new mum, I’ve appreciated the LTA’s newly enhanced benefits, which have supported me during maternity leave and in my return to work. In total, I have been with the LTA for four years and love the diversity of my role.”
“Everyone's respected in terms of the culture, ethnicity, and the background, so you don't feel inequal in any capacity. I remember how supportive my team had been during Ramadan, being fully understanding of its requirements and flexible with my work schedule.”
