4 Tips For Organising an Office Move
Choosing to relocate your business premises is never an easy decision because everyone knows the upheaval that comes with having to relocate a whole workforce to a new location. Of course, with a new business premise often comes new opportunities, so if it is the right thing for you and your business then putting it off isn’t recommended. Instead, it’s about organising an office move or workplace relocation in the least stressful way possible.
Speak To Your Employees and Colleagues
Before you decide to relocate the best thing you can do is speak to everyone that is going to be affected and see if they’re happy to relocate. If you’re moving area then there is likely to be mixed opinions depending on what it means to employees’ travel plans and how their commute will be changed. Speak to everyone involved to see what you can do to make life easier for them. It’s also worth getting an idea as to who is going to be around to help with the actual physical move as this can take some manpower too!
Get Some Storage Arranged
Moving a whole work premises takes some organisation and that can be hard if you simply don’t know where to put things while you move around, rearrange and get ready to move. As you start to pack up your old work premises things can quickly become cluttered and overwhelming. The best way around this is it investigate companies that offer storage units in Basingstoke so that you can store your goods. For example, Now Storage offers easy storage options and has a number of premises that you can pick from. Booking into some short-term and/or long-term storage can help to take the pressure off as you can simply move things that you don’t need out of the way until you’re ready to place them in the new premises.
Book in the Experts
It is all well and good trying to arrange everything to do with a home move on your own but moving work premises often takes a little more expertise. For example, you need to think about internet connections and phone lines and how to keep these going as you move so you’re customers are not left with no way to contact you. There are different companies that specialise in office and workplace relocations so peaking to these and getting some of their team booked in to help you on moving day is recommended if you want to try and ensure everything runs as smoothly and stress-free as possible.
Be Organised
Researching your new premises, setting a budget, making a list of what to move and when and getting some help in are just the beginning of your office/workplace relocation. If you are planning a relocation then now is the time to get organised. Making a list of what needs doing and who is doing it is a great place to start. However, things like getting in touch with your service providers in advance to find out what their terms are for moving and how they can help you get connected at your new premises is also worth doing; so you can be sure that you have all the boxes ticked and that your move will go as smoothly as possible.
