Make your Office Move Run Smoothly

by | Feb 20, 2017 | Moving

Make your office move run smoothly with help from American Moving and HaulingNeed to find the best moving companies in Greensboro, NC or somewhere else in the Triad area for your next relocation?  Look no further, American Moving and Hauling can help your business move go smoothly.  You may have to relocate your business for any number of reasons, whether you’re expanding, downsizing or dealing with an expiring lease. Relocation requires careful planning, good employee communication, and a solid technology strategy. Without these, the move can frustrate your workers and disrupt your business. Here are some tips to ensure your relocation will go smoothly.

Plan Early

Before the date of the relocation is set, familiarize yourself with the new location, contact a reliable hiring company, and create a realistic budget that includes not only moving fees, but also the cost of customized packing supplies and any post-move assistance you may require from specialized technical or cleaning services.

To minimize disruption and make the move as efficient as possible, create a relocation timeline. Appoint an internal or external relocation coordinator, and try to schedule your move during a period of low activity for your business.

Keep Your Employees Updated

Decide early on how much you want to involve your employees in the practical aspects of the relocation, and communicate the process to them clearly. Regular updates are crucial to help alleviate concerns. Also, be ready to answer any questions employees may have about the relocation.

As the moving day draws nearer, try to involve employees in the early processes of the relocation, so that they get a better sense of what is happening. When the big day comes, however, keep staffing levels on the premises to a minimum, to prevent accidents and injuries and give the moving team the space it needs to do its job effectively.

Create a Reliable IT Strategy

In an age of seemingly effortless connectivity, it’s easy to overlook the importance of having an IT strategy in place. Ensure that the IT and telecommunication installations in the new location are ready to provide complete connectivity to your computers, servers, faxes, and telephone lines. Technical support issues are common, which is why it’s good to have technology specialist with you, preferably one who has handled relocations before.

With plenty of advanced planning, good communication, and a strategic checklist, an office move can be relatively seamless and not cost you any lost revenue.
