Connection, Culture & Commuity

Fairfield is on a journey to foster a culture of belonging where we interact with mutual respect and empathy. Using engaging language and seeking judgment-free dialogue, associates are encouraged to make efforts to connect with the experiences of others while responding with kindness, curiosity, and grace. We use data to set benchmarks and use wide-reaching customer touch points to communicate clearly with all stakeholders throughout our journey to focus and deepen our Connection, Culture & Community efforts.

FC3 is committed to sharing knowledge and resources and ensuring a relevant and fresh perspective for our associates. Our Training & Development team continually offers on-demand, virtual and in-person training programs in support of cultural topics. New initiatives undergo careful analysis for relevance and impact as we thoughtfully progress our FC3 efforts. We are always seeking ways to partner with outside expertise, historians, and cultural experts to offer educational opportunities to our associates, and our committee regularly provides direction to reading materials, seminars, and more.
