Whether you’re moving to accommodate your company’s growth or to reduce operating expenses, planning and communication are essential when relocating your office. Ideally, preparation should begin three to six months beforehand, and large companies may need a year or more to complete to relocate. Read on for tips to keep your next move as hassle free as possible.
Management
Choose a project manager and a team to oversee the relocation. Identifying and assigning tasks, creating a timeline and tracking expenses are some of the responsibilities that can be given to your team. Effective communication among the team and other employees can make the relocation less stressful and reduce your organization’s downtime.
Moving Companies
Research Jackson movers to find a company that’s experienced in commercial relocations. From assistance with planning your move and packing boxes to setting up furniture and reconnecting electronics, moving companies offer an array of services. Ask your team to meet with moving companies, identify the services you’ll need and obtain quotes to set your budget.
New Office Design
Create an inventory of furniture, computers, files and other items that will be transferred to your new office and decide how to dispose of any remaining property and paperwork. Your team should review office layouts and consider suggestions from employees for efficient use of your new space. When contacting Jackson Movers, ask if they assist with floor plan design.
Packing
Create a system for packing so it’s easy to identify where boxes should go in your new office. Colors, shapes and numbers are ideal for coding.
