What FMS Is All About
GOOD PEOPLE. CLEAN BUILDINGS. BETTER COMMUNITIES. When you choose FMS, you’re in good companies. It’s not just about cleaning — it’s about creating better communities through care, commitment, and culture. FMS believes that making a mess is easy, but cleaning up takes care. And that care starts with the people behind the scenes. Team members who feel appreciated, trained, and given room to grow are the ones who truly care about their work. Happy team members? Happy customers. Simple as that.
The Main Benefit: A Better Overall Experience
Looking forward to a better tomorrow means more than just spotless buildings. It’s about an experience that’s easy, thorough, and built on strong relationships. Here’s what sets FMS apart:
- Offices in Louisville, Lexington, Shelbyville, and New Albany — so they’re close by.
- Personalized meetings to see if cultures align before anything else.
- Tailored services that fit exactly what clients want or need.
- A commitment to team member growth through one-on-one training and professional development.
- A safe work environment that fosters personal and professional success.
FMS’s Heart and Muscle: Commitment to Community
A business like this takes muscle, starting with heart. FMS isn’t just aiming to be a good corporate citizen — they want to be a great one. Giving back isn’t a side project; it’s woven into the very fabric of their business. Strong relationships with partners and beneficiaries help brighten the communities where people live, work, and play. It’s about making a real difference, not just ticking boxes.
On a Mission Beyond Cleaning
It’s no secret — FMS is on a mission. Their social commitment goes way beyond traditional giving programs. This mission is embedded in the business model itself. They measure the good they do for people and communities just as closely as operational effectiveness and profit. One standout initiative? Working Your Way to Wheels. This program helps front-line employees buy vehicles, so they can get to work safely, take their kids to school, and stay connected to their communities. It’s practical, impactful, and deeply needed.
A Cultural Evolution That Drives Success
At FMS, culture isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a belief system. Proper training and genuine appreciation lead to happy customers and long-term success. This culture is defined by leadership, resources, and a climate that supports team members every step of the way. From one-on-one training to professional development opportunities, FMS invests in its people. The result? A workplace where individuals can grow both personally and professionally — and that energy shows in the work they do.

Facing Challenges with Transparency and Accountability
Systemic racism exists. Black people face additional, ever-present challenges that reduce their chances to thrive — and that’s simply unacceptable. FMS acknowledges this hard truth and commits to doing better. The company pledges to take a central role in driving change, with full transparency and accountability. As Scott Koloms, FMS President, puts it: “FMS needs to do better to help the situation and must continue to take a central role in the change that needs to occur.” This honest stance is part of what makes FMS stand out as a socially responsible business.
