About 96% of our employees went from working in the office to at home. Once mandates were lifted, our employees wanted to go into the office more, so we got the FMS: Employee to help the employees book a resource when needed. ### 2.

My experience with FMS:Employee is nothing short of world-class and amazing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2022 **What do you like best about FMS:Employee?** What is most helpful of FMS:Employee for me, is that it helps CRE and Facilities management teams to improve their workspace management, their management of Hybrid-work and the Employee Experience. The upside of using FMS:Employee is that there are so many interfaces to choose from: Outlook, Web-portal, Mapview (interactive floorplan), Mobile App, Upcoming events display feed... **What do you dislike about FMS:Employee?** What is least helpful of FMS:Employee and the potential downsides of FMS:Employee, are the manual reporting. I know that this is covered by FMS:Insights, but it would have been great if there was a smarter reporting engine / dashboard / mechanism in place to give quick and easily customizeable data (csv). (I still use the reporting as-is and it works, but since being asked, I had to choose something) **Recommendations to others considering FMS:Employee:** Try it or at least, ask for a demo. **What problems is FMS:Employee solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problems which FMS:Employee solves, is how to approach and manage Hybrid-work, desk booking, parking booking, giving users access to simple interfaces to book what they need and to be able to measure your space utilization based on "requirements" as booked. Anotehr benefit is being able to auto-release desks and rooms if booked, but not used. This effectively increases your available real-estate, which would otherwise have been wasted. ### 4. friendly, useful **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2022 **What do you like best about FMS:Employee?** Multi-Time Zone Scheduling, easily schedule meeting with different zone staff and colleague. **What do you dislike about FMS:Employee?** none. it is easy to learn and use. i can expert in very short time **Recommendations to others considering FMS:Employee:** web-based meeting schedule **What problems is FMS:Employee solving and how is that benefiting you?** meeting schedule with group of people ### 5. Great Resource Scheduling Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** zamara p. | FACILITIES COORDINATOR, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2022 **What do you like best about FMS:Employee?** At Extreme, we Love how easy it is to Create a Location in FMS RS Module. Identifying Hot Spots is very Easy and fast to do depending on how large the map is, but Jennifer trained us to deselect some of the layers to make Hotpotting faster. **What do you dislike about FMS:Employee?** I honestly dislike how you have to convert the CAD drawings into an older version for the CAD Plan to upload seamlessly. Thankfully though, if you have FM AUTOCAD, this will make it a bit easier. **Recommendations to others considering FMS:Employee:** FMS Employee has been great Post COVID. A vast majority of our employees are now working from home, and this makes it easy for those employees who still want to come into our office 2-3 days a week. Get this platform; you won't regret it. **What problems is FMS:Employee solving and how is that benefiting you?** The Support team helped me with the CAD Drawing Uploads. At first, it was tricky trying to convert the Newer CAD Floor Plans Drawings into an older CAD Version to upload the Floor plan for hot-spotting. **Official Response from Troy Polen:** > Hi Zamara! We are thrilled that you are having a great experience by leveraging multiple product lines with FMS. Thank you so much for the positive review on our FMS:Employee product!

FMS: Employee Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021 **What do you like best about FMS:Employee?** MY favorite part about this software is that it is easily trackable and that I get a follow-up email after a request. This helps me not only to keep track of current requests, but also to look back at previous requests- to see how, when, and by whom they were completed. **What do you dislike about FMS:Employee?** What I dislike about FMS is that the services I typically request don't quite "fit" into the request system. What I mean by this is that I have to input text to explain what I want. While this is fine, it takes more time, and I sometimes wonder whether or not I will get what I asked for. It can also be hard to navigate the main menu and to figure out what request "type" yours might fall under. **Recommendations to others considering FMS:Employee:** Make sure that you are detailed in your request, and leave a callback number if anyone has questions. Otherwise, this software has worked fine for me. **What problems is FMS:Employee solving and how is that benefiting you?** FMS has helped me track my service requests within the hospital and check on their progress. It has also helped me figure out issues, such as requests that don't get fulfilled. In these cases, I can look at what happened and the person who was assigned the task. This allows me to follow up with them and ensure it gets completed. This software also allows me to schedule things on my own time without having to make phone calls and try to get ahold of people from other departments, which can be time-consuming and frustrating for both parties. ### 7. It needs better interface to understand **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2021 **What do you like best about FMS:Employee?** I liked Some of the resources it has to offer. **What do you dislike about FMS:Employee?** When speaking about interface the workspace layout has some parts that is not easily accessible. **Recommendations to others considering FMS:Employee:** Better business to consumer communication and have staff readily available to help. **What problems is FMS:Employee solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps our business work just bit more effective ### 8. Initial Impressions Are Positive **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2020 **What do you like best about FMS:Employee?** Our organization uses a product called Resource Scheduler, which was acquired by FM Systems in the last year during our implementation. The support transition was smooth and the new folks at FM Systems seem very helpful and knowledgeable. **What do you dislike about FMS:Employee?** It's too soon in our relationship with the vendor to provide honest things we dislike. With regard to the Resource Scheduler product, it offers a very robust set of features, but comes at the expense of a friendly admin UI. FM Systems purchased the product in its current state so the problem was inherited. **What problems is FMS:Employee solving and how is that benefiting you?** We implemented a solution to manage and reserve our physical spaces such as meeting/board rooms. The product is a direct upgrade to our prior solution and offers many new features. ### 9.
