Relocating your office doesn’t have to cause you headaches. The decision to move is not a small one and it affects everyone involved in the business. Therefore, it requires a lot of thoughtful project planning before, management during and consultation after to ensure an easy and smooth relocation.

All in the planning

With so many processes involved, planning early so you have an understanding on what needs to happen. Regardless of where your office is relocating to, the project can seem overwhelming. Often, commercial relocations need very strict deadlines which could be down to leases having strict expiry dates.  Disrupting productivity can also be costly to your business. Carefully consider and plan and stick to it to avoid complications with your move.

Communicate with staff

One of the hardest parts of relocating is managing staff expectations and experience. Staff may feel connected to their current office fear change. Every member of your business will have opinions on the move and how it should go but the best way to manage their expectations and ensure their experience is a positive one is to keep lines of communication open.  Tell them about the move as soon as you can and in as much detail as possible.  Allow them to ask questions and recommend positive changes for their new office space and allow your employees to feel they were listened to.

Keep connected with IT

One of the most sensitive aspects of the move will be IT. Technology will need to be disconnected and reconnected in a way that causes minimal disruption to your business. Not only are computers and the equipment your staff need to function every day important, but it’s also the behind the scenes servers that are risky to move. If you make a mistake with your IT relocation, you risk losing valuable data and could see yourself in breach of data laws.
