The fours Ps of Office Move Planning
Organizing an office move can be made far easier if you are determined to have a smooth transition to the new facility. So if you want to stay ahed of the game, you may want to start planning your office move by looking at the fours Ps of Office Move Planning.
Preparation
Preparing for your office move is about getting important things in place that will enable you to make the right decisions throughout the project. Like how much money you have to spend on the move, how much time you have. Start planning your budget with this free budget planner, and check out your office lease for the expiry date and start working backwards so you can plan a timeline.
Planning
If you're reading this blog article, it's probably because you're in the initial planning stages of the move, and this is by far the most important stage. Many companies underestimate how long it takes to plan an office move (or worse still, miss this stage out altogether!) and end up making critical mistakes. It's never too early to start planning your office move - the earlier you start, the better chance you have of everything going smoothly and without any disruption to your business.
People
Relocating your business isn't just about moving into a new building, it's about moving people too. Your staff need to know what's going on, and be fully in the loop about progress. Losing staff to another company because of poor communication could result in you embarking on a huge recruitment drive as soon as you get to the new office. Not good! Your staff are a valuable asset - treat them as such.
Process
It's easy to feel overwhelmed when you first set eyes on our Office Move Checklist. Don't be. An office move is just a process that can be broken down into more manageable tasks and chapters. That's why our Office Move Checklist is split into sections so you can tackle one thing at a time. And if that's not enough, try this free Office Move Planner.
