Additional Culture Details
The term "HOLD FAST" originates from the maritime world, where sailors used it as both a command and a motto to encourage a firm grip on the ship's rigging during rough seas and stormy conditions.
Over time, the term has transcended its nautical roots and evolved into a powerful metaphor for resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment...three attributes that perfectly describe our Fairlead culture.
HOLD FAST signifies a steadfast adherence to principles, integrity, and perseverance in the face of challenges. It embodies the idea that we, as Fairlead employees, will stay true to our mission, uphold ethical standards, and remain anchored in our purpose amidst both success and adversity.
By applying a specific Fairlead value to each letter, we more precisely and deliberately define what a HOLD FAST mindset means at Fairlead.
If every one of us holds ourselves to the reasonable, achievable standard that each of the HOLD FAST values represents, we will be able to achieve and exceed our goals and successfully navigate the inevitable challenges that we will face
