Unlocking Potential: The Promise Programme

23 April 2024

In this series we unveil the core pillars of Fairway's commitment to employees' growth and well-being.

At Fairway, we understand that the journey from trainee to a seasoned professional in the finance industry isn’t always easy. That's why we’ve crafted ‘The Promise Programme’ to enhance professional and personal development, and employ a purposeful, performance-enhancing approach, whilst keeping our colleagues engaged and motivated.

The Promise Programme is our commitment to personal growth and success.  It helps our colleagues progress and excel through their chosen field, ensuring specific technical, interpersonal, behavioural, teamwork and cultural aspects are incorporated into their job role via a self-managed performance tracker.  In addition to supporting colleagues through professional qualifications, by dividing the programme up into these areas allows our colleagues to experience a mix of core skills development, as well as professional, and growing our talent by providing a supportive and nurturing environment in the process.

We've also teamed up with external coaches who provide a collaborative partnership and personal guidance through 1:1 coaching sessions, enabling our colleagues to flourish and fulfil their potential.  Our coaches focus on enhancing key areas such as confidence, communication, stress management, resilience, problem-solving, and career advancement.

Coaching isn't just about acquiring new skills, it's about embracing a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth, whilst also promoting wellbeing.  Allowing our colleagues to come to work as their authentic selves and building on our performance culture.

What sets The Promise Programme apart is its focus on individualised development from the very beginning of a new career journey.  Unlike traditional training programmes, this innovative approach involves collaborative dialogues tailored to everyone’s unique needs, fostering a positive and empowering environment where challenges are viewed as opportunities for growth.

Fairway promotes a culture where challenges are embraced, and growth is celebrated. The Promise Programme enables our colleagues to embark on a transformative career journey!

Claudia Sutton, Director & Lead Coach at Alt Collective:

"It’s been very rewarding working with Fairway, a company that truly values and invests in the development and wellbeing of their people. As part of their brilliant new Promise Programme, we’ve been working as their in-house coaches, supporting emerging talent, both in Jersey and overseas, on a 1:1 basis. 

From confidence building strategies, to developing time management, communication and leadership skills, this very personal approach provides each individual with the tools and strategies to support their personal and professional growth. 

It’s been brilliant to get to know the coaching cohort, an incredibly inspiring group, and to see them embrace the coaching journey and unlock their potential."
