Industry-leading service meets inclusion and support at Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp., where diversity is more than a metric — officials say it’s a deeply-held value.
Employees at Fairway are recruited through local community organizations, a referral network and regular job fairs, ensuring a variety of candidates have the opportunity to apply. Once on board, workers are welcomed with resource groups promoting women’s empowerment, mental health, parenting, veterans and LGBTQ+ communities. Consistent bias training and open communication aim to ensure employees feel they belong.
Financial well-being is a cornerstone of the company’s benefits, as evidenced in Fairway’s employee stock ownership plan. Workers can also enroll in a 401(k), and the company provides a 50% match on up to 6% of annual pay. Flexible paid-time off conversion allows employees to manage their own time and financial resources.
Fairway also offers commuter and parking reimbursements, discounts on wellness products and travel, as well as advanced medical care, like preventative body scans, at reduced rates.
