Ally program
A peer support initiative that pairs an experienced employee with a newcomer to Forethought. The ally supports the orientation of the new joiner to build familiarity with our people and processes.
At Forethought, we recognise that each career journey is unique. As such, we encourage our employees to work to their strengths and interests by planning for individual development, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. We develop individual training plans on an annual basis to encourage each employee to realise their full career potential.
