Office Moving Strategies
Moving office can be a stressful project for any business to undertake, and organizing the logistics of your office move day can be nightmare. Thankfully, Help Moving Office has the best and most practical Office Moving Strategies that will ensure success and relieve the anxiety of your office moving:
Secure the right Office Moving Company
The office moving company you choose is critical to the success of your office move. They need to be professional, experienced in commercial moves and understand your timeframes and objectives. Shop around for at least 3 moving quotes before making your choice.
Familiarize yourself with the new office
The more familiar you are with your new office layout and how things need to be set up in the new office, the better chance you will have of getting back to normal quickly. Ensure your IT infrastructure is set up correctly before you move, and talk through the new office space plan with your office moving company.
Keep a Checklist
There are so many things to remember when moving office, it's important to keep a checklist of what needs to be done, as well as what you've achieved so far. The Office Moving Checklist is free to download and lists all the tasks to get your office moved smoothly.
Plan your IT Relocation
Don't leave anything to chance as far as your IT relocation is concerned. Prepare a back up of all data, and arrange to test all equipment in the new office before staff arrive.
Switch over Utilities
Make arrangements with your utilities about transferring services to the new office and test those before your office moving company arrive on site.
Keep Employees Informed
Staff will need to be involved and informed about the schedule of events around office moving day, so ensure you communicate the plan to staff so they feel valued and supported.
Label Everything
Your office moving company will ensure that all boxes and items are labelled so that everything ends up in the correct location and any business downtime is minimized.
The best approach to a successful office moving strategy is to keep focused and stay organized with the Office Moving Checklist.
