Employee Assistance Programme
Life – there’s a lot to juggle. Work, family, relationships, finances, health, the list goes on. Sometimes, meeting the demands of your work and personal life can be a real challenge. As your employer, we recognise this and therefore feel it is important that we provide you with an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to help take the strain when you need some extra support. Your EAP can save you time, and help reduce stress and anxiety, improving your well-being and freeing you up to focus on other things.

Green car scheme
Tusker is a salary sacrifice scheme that offers employees the opportunity to offset salary in exchange for a brand new electric or hybrid car. The scheme will contribute to the GLT commitment to reducing emissions and improving its carbon footprint.
