Top ten reasons for office move failure
Top Ten Office Moving Pitfalls
There's no denying that moving office can be a stressful experience, and any number of things can potentially go wrong. Thanks to HelpMovingOffice.com their office relocation tips will guide you through a smooth office move and help you avoid the common reasons why many office moves fail.
- Not using a Tenant Rep Broker to help you find office space which leads to uninformed decisions about the choice of office space and an "unfavorable" office lease.
- No clear vision about the reasons behind the office move and the requirements of new premises.
- Lack of communication between managers and their employees which can lead to low staff morale, negativity and poor performance.
- Poor time management and failure to adhere to a strict moving schedule often results in a delayed office move with business interruption.
- Poor budget management (or none at all!) which leads to a company running out of money before they've even moved in to the new office.
- Not taking sufficient legal counsel regarding the important details within the Office Lease resulting in nasty financial and operational consequences further down the line.
- Trying to cut corners by taking care of the relocation yourself without the expert help of a professional Office Moving Company.
- Lack of research when hiring an Office Moving Company which can lead to hasty decisions based on low-cost and convenience rather than skill and experience.
- Poor IT Relocation Planning can lead to delays when arriving at the new office, caused by incompatible and insufficient cabling infrastructure and phone lines in the wrong location.
- Not considering future growth / contraction will mean you will all too quickly outgrow your office space; hampering productivity, morale and stunting business growth.
