PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Leadership Program (FLP), a two-year leadership development program, designed to prepare high performing, high-potential talent from diverse backgrounds for leadership roles in Fidelity’s Finance organization.

Fidelity will continue to keep the safety of associates and customers as our top priority and this will never change.

As the pandemic evolves and Federal, State, and Local regulations emerge, it has become clear that knowing the vaccination status of all associates is critical to our safety efforts. 

Therefore, Fidelity will require all candidates to disclose their COVID-19 vaccination status during the hiring process, and if vaccinated, provide proof of vaccine.   

This is not a requirement to be vaccinated. It is a requirement to report vaccination status and, if vaccinated, provide proof.
