FIAT Business Designation
A Universal Standard for Business
FIAT (Fiduciary In All Things) is a business designation for organizations committed to putting people, truth, democracy, and the living planet at the center of every decision they make.
The Moules retrains companies of all sizes to create flourishing workforces dedicated to FIAT with engaged, energized, and inspired team members. By focusing on increasing the listening skills and empathy of every team member and supporting the aspirational lives they long to live, The Moules reinvigorates mission-driven companies to become more human-centered, productive, and efficient.
Why FIAT ?
Most businesses express facing five main pain points:
A vision that doesn’t fully translate into day-to-day behavior
Workforce disengagement and accountability
Short-term pressure when wanting long-term results
The world is fractured. There’s huge uncertainty. On a daily basis, we’re uncomfortable with this and unsettled by it. We feel it in our bodies. It affects every decision we make.
We’re lonely. From the top executive to the newest recruit, we feel unrecognized and undervalued. Within the business itself, we lack the social structures that allow our lives to flourish
At The Moules, we address each of these five points. Our vision is integrated into all business activities. We create an uplifted, spirited, energized, flourishing, and thriving community workplace. Through great listening skills, we lessen short-term pressures and deepen long-term commitments. We stand for a world that is whole and is made whole by a single-sentence fiduciary-legislated proposal. We live that wholeness within ourselves, within our business and model it to our communities.
In addition, the FIAT Business Designation compels businesses to commit to redesigning civilization from the place where they have the most agency in the workplace.
