Moving to new business premises can be a little daunting, to say the least. You may have grown a lot since your last move, and so there’s likely to be plenty of logistics that need working out. With that being said, here are some tips to help make moving business premises easier on yourself.
Organize It Via Departments
When it comes to organizing the move itself, it’s worth breaking it down into departments. Each department in the business then has the responsibility of coordinating the removal and packing of their area. While liaising with the building manager, this can be a great way of spreading out the workload that you’re likely to get when moving from one office to the other. It also gives those in management positions, the time to prove themselves, and to help the organization when they need it the most. By grouping your departments off, it’s going to help keep everyone in their specific stations, and that way, you’ve not got a load of employees all over the place trying to pack up different things and constantly asking if they are needed. Creating a plan for the move is important, and this can certainly help.
Label & Tag Everything Up
When you’re coming to the move, you want to ensure that everything is where it should be when you actually make the journey. This means that you’ll want to label everything up so that you have everything accounted for and marked as company possession. Asset tags can be helpful to have for the equipment that you own and that might be very expensive. This can help to ensure that nothing goes missing when it comes to the removal company who’ll help you get your things from A to B.
Use It As An Opportunity To Declutter
Decluttering the office space is a big job, but there’s no better time to do it than when you’re moving from an old office to a new one. The last thing you want is to be bringing any extra baggage with you, and so it’s good to take advantage and do a cull of the clutter. You’ll be able to free up more space in your new office, which might be needed for when you hire more staff or need to have space available for a variety of different business activities.
Pick The Right Removal Firm
Picking the right removal firm is a must because you could certainly end up picking someone who hasn’t got the experience you need. There are lots of removal companies out there, but you want someone who is going to be reliable and flexible to everything you need. Be sure to find this removal firm as early on as possible and that way, you’re well prepared for the move when it does come around.
Moving to new business premises can open up a wealth of opportunities, so take full advantage of the moving process. Use it to declutter, pick the right removals firm and get your staff members organized.
