The Purpose Behind Our Value . . .

In 2019 the issue of profit and purpose came to the fore. To understand the connections and applications, research indicates that CBO, FBO, CMOs and CEOs were interviewed, and the findings were remarkably a similar pattern across a highly diverse set of companies. It was determined widely, that having great products and services and being a “good corporate citizen” are table stakes in a world of empowered citizens and consumers. Melissa Waters, CMO of Lyft, says “Any customer these days is asking for transparency on what a company stands for and why they operate. But you can’t exist just to make the world a better place.”

Purpose today goes well beyond corporate social responsibility. According to Rhonda Hamilton, Executive Director of M.I. Mother’s Keeper, a mental health non-profit, “Purpose can’t be viewed as a department or initiative. It must be woven into a company’s operational fabric. Purpose is a lodestar guiding and inspiring everyone to create economic and societal value together.” 

Purpose is not just philanthropy; it is a source of competitive advantage. FUND-A-MENTAL VILLAGE CORP.^™ emphasizes the external market opportunity of creating social impact. One of the key findings of those researched conversations was how purpose created advantage internally by aligning and energizing the organization.

FUND-A-MENTAL VILLAGE CORP.^™ finds that purpose streamlines decision-making. “The amount of time management teams are spending reacting to dramatic changes in the world is unprecedented. Purpose becomes the compass against which we’re making decisions.”  “We discuss purpose at the highest-level strategy meetings. It affects our hiring practices, suppliers we work with, how we reward product development, and of course, marketing.”

Purpose also attracts, empowers and inspires employees. “Purpose has an impact on the kind of people we’ve been able to attract. People are looking for a worthy purpose or vision that they can believe in. The more inspired our employees are, the better the work they are going to do.”

FUND-A-MENTAL VILLAGE CORP.^™ Benefits Corporation, believes, “A great purpose is grounded in something universally true that is authentically delivered by your brand and product.” FUND-A-MENTAL VILLAGE CORP.^™ has embedded its purpose into every aspect of the company through people and performance management. “We start with purpose, to transform homelessness to Mental Health Care; we map that purpose to goals and metrics; we look at the entire customer journey and how to deliver the best experience anywhere even down to how we greet people.  If we do these consistently, it is our belief that we will transform.”

Staying true to a vision that is truly authentic to our business and stakeholders is our aspiration and purpose. Our journey to purpose is not a tactic or campaign. Key metrics will help to ensure that we maintain transparency, accountability and focus. The fusion of profit and purpose is a journey more than a destination. We are at the beginning of that journey, and we will start by having conversations with our stakeholders about how we can connect the two more closely.

At FUND-A-MENTAL VILLAGE CORP.^™ we pledge to go beyond the “boardroom bubble” to get front-line employees, customers, and partners involved to help us see where we can be more embedded into fulfilling our purpose successfully.
