Member Spotlight by Matt Schoolcraft, Marketing Coordinator 

Provide us with a brief summary of your business’ services.
We are a Professional Employer Organization. We partner with small to mid-sized businesses, allowing them to outsource the administrative functions of payroll, human resources, risk management and benefits.

Tell us about your company’s mission and values.
At GMS, our mission is to provide our clients with the HR tools and resources necessary to help their businesses grow and thrive. We believe in supporting one another towards the common goal of helping our clients succeed, while building a culture of trust, accountability, respect and encouragement.

What are the services you use the most (or are looking forward to using) from the Columbus Chamber?
We are looking forward to developing new relationships and partnerships with other businesses in our community, as well as attend networking events to share how GMS can help businesses and other fellow Chamber members.

How do you stay engaged with trends that you see in your industry?
Throughout every department, we have leaders that drive innovation and stay involved with industry trends from HR to Technology to Healthcare. Administrative functions have become overwhelming for small business owners, and our goal is to provide the highest level of technology and support to help manage these areas.

Please describe your company culture.
GMS is family. Our people build relationships that extend beyond the office. This approach carries into the relationships with our clients. As a PEO, we succeed when our clients succeed. From the top down, our management team has an open door policy, encouraging input and feedback across the board.

What defines a successful employee at your company?
A successful employee at GMS is engaged, driven, and benevolent. We are a team, and we all want to contribute to the growth and success at GMS.

What makes Columbus such a great place to do business?
Although we are an Ohio-based company with our Headquarters located in Richfield, Ohio, Columbus is one of our top offices due to the fact that it is one of the Top 20 Largest Cities in the United States and small businesses are only expanding right along with it. The city is constantly growing with new businesses starting up every single day. Because of the cost of living and higher education institutions, it is driving a lot of people to plant a seed here in Columbus and continue to grow. There are so many opportunities to partner with businesses throughout Columbus and Central Ohio, which makes it exciting to work in the Columbus market.
