How to make your moving day simple for the whole team.
Congratulations! Moving offices is an exciting time, but it can quickly become stressful for your business and your team. At Robust Move, we have helped multiple Vancouver businesses move their office. This blog outlines key points to consider to help with planning and how to make the moving day simple and…if we can say, enjoyable!
The first step is to start planning as soon as possible. Although six months or more of lead time is ideal, we know that sometimes a business isn’t allotted this timeline due to circumstances such as market availability, corporate timelines, and negotiating lease terms. It all plays a role in when you can move offices.
When you do get your move date, start a designated filing system to store all notes, lists, contracts, and anything else related to the logistics of your move. Your office manager or someone in a similar role will easily be able to pull up any vital piece of information at a moment’s notice when it’s all organized and in one place.
Streamline your office clutter. No matter how organized your company is, most offices tend to end up with some amount of clutter. Is there a pile of toys lingering in a closet from your last ream building day, are your kitchen cupboards overflowing? By getting a jumpstart on these areas as soon as possible, moving week and day will be much simpler.
Tech management and security of your office equipment are of the highest importance. Be sure to collect and store all your log-in credentials for all of your systems, software, and any pieces of office tech. When you move into a new space and get set up on a new IP Address, your first day in the office will be made easier by having all of these credentials on hand.
Select a moving company that is familiar with moving an office and offers a full-service move. Although your team is likely ready and willing to assist with the move, the logistics of moving an office are completely different than moving a home. An experienced moving team will be able to break down and package all of your office materials for safe transportation. Then, due to a robust logistics plan, they will be able to set up your new office, so it’s ready for your team to come in and get right to work.
