When preparing for office relocation, the goal is to reduce disruption and ensure every possibility is prepared for. It is worthwhile planning ahead if you want your relocation to go as smooth as possible. From packing and moving of boxes to choosing the best removal company, here is a quick guide to ensure your move will be successful.
Assign your staff of their tasks
Although you are hiring a removal company to take care of your move, it will be beneficial if your employees are there to help. Ask your staff to pack up their desks and encourage them to do it in advance so they won’t rush at the last minute. Give your team a few hours off to get all their items in order.
Label your boxes
It is essential to label your boxes when moving to a new office to ensure that operations are not disrupted. Label every single box you have, so you won’t have a hard time looking for equipment and office supplies. Being organised can save you time when you’re getting settled in your new location.
Handling technical equipment
One of the most stressful parts of your move is disconnecting and reconnecting all of your technical equipment. Create a plan to transfer all your office equipment, including computers, servers and phones, as well as your data and internet plans.
Research for the best moving company
Before making your move, obtain quotations from several professional moving companies. Some offer a full service, meaning they will do all the packing, loading and unloading. However, this also comes with a price. If you are on a tight budget, you can opt for a less costly option, but make sure they are reliable.
