Moving your business and team to a new office comes with a long list of to-dos. To make the transition as smooth as possible, it’s important to plan ahead and get everyone on the same page. Here are some helpful tips to consider when preparing your employees for relocation.

Do:

Hire professional movers.

Moving all of your office equipment and essentials to a new location will likely require a team of movers. Get a quote from several different companies before selecting the right one for your needs. If you can, hire a full-service company that will pack everything, load it on the truck, unload it, and then unpack everything where you need it to go in your new office space.

Label all the boxes by department.

When moving out of your home, you should organize boxes by room to make it easier to find items and unpack in your new location. The same logic applies to offices. Have your department managers assign different packing responsibilities to their employees and provide them with large boxes, labeling stickers, and markers.

Don’t: 

Dissuade new or current business.

Work with your marketing team to determine the best way to send out information about your new office location. Turn the move into an advertising opportunity by creating signage, cards, and flyers, informing clients of the news and reminding them of your products or services.

Forget about IT.

One of the first departments that should move into your new space and get a feel for the layout is your IT department. Give these experts in your business access to outlets, local internet providers, fax outlets, and phone lines, so they can set up your computers and phones as soon as possible.
