"I am also proud to be a visible lesbian role model because firstly, it is important for other staff to see that your gender will never hold you back in attaining a senior role. Secondly, it is important for all LGBT+ staff to feel safe in being out at work, because this allows us to bring our ‘whole selves’ to work, and by doing that we have more and productive working relationships with colleagues."

I am working the same hours so do the same amount of work however with the improved work/life balance I think I am more engaged when I am here. Also, although I sit in a fairly small office, it allows you to work in a quieter atmosphere before the phones start ringing
