Every office relocation process is going to result in a loss of productivity, disruption, and chaos. The key to successfully relocating your office is to minimise these factors and that means being prepared. If you are considering an office relocation or you are in the process of preparing to relocate your office, Bubble Van is here to help.
With that in mind, we are going to share some ways to make moving your office easier and more efficient:
Be Organised- many businesses don’t make a proper plan when relocating and various issues can emerge as a result. Transitioning to a new place is a big change for your business and good organisation can solve many problems. A lack of foresight can cause inventory to pile up in the new office and this can result in a decline in customer service and poor productivity. Create a timeline to help your employees know when to start packing their items and when they can start working again. It is advisable to form a special internal team to handle the relocation process.
Hire A Reliable Removal Company- companies are always on a time crunch when they relocate, because it is important that they immediately resume operations. A reliable removal company can advise prevention measures to avoid problems from occurring and you can be sure all items will arrive safely at the new office. Be sure to look for recommendations from previous clients to ensure satisfactory results.
Maintain Good Communication- it is important to continue communicating with employees, before, during, and after the relocation process. If there are changes in schedules and moving plans, your staff should be informed immediately. There are packing and unpacking arrangements to ensure problem-free relocations. If you lease the office building, there could be new rules from landlords that employees need to follow. Big changes can be unsettling and it is important to continue reassuring employees to boost their morale.
Protect Critical Data- although servers, computers, and laptops are delivered intact, there could be potential problems such as data loss or theft. If your computers are still using mechanical hard drives, they can be vulnerable to shocks and bumps. Back up important data to SSDs, external storage, and cloud accounts. If you are concerned about data theft, it is preferable to remove important files temporarily from your computers or servers. Data loss can be very disruptive and it will delay the resumption of operations.
