Tips for Change Management When You’re Moving to a New Office Location
Moving your office to a new location involves a myriad of
decisions. Not only do you need to ensure that the new office is on brand and
offers employees and staff a great experience, but you also have to manage the
change with existing employees.
Some of the questions that office managers and business
owners ask during this time include:
- Do I
need to consult with my staff?
- What
is the impact of commuting versus relocation?
- What
do my employment contracts say?
- What
if someone won’t or can’t move?
Here are a few tips to help you with the office relocation:
Be Prepared
Prior to move day, make sure that everything that can fit
into a crate or a box is packed away into a crate or a box. Desks, cupboards,
and drawers need to be empty. IT equipment needs to be sealed in an IT bag.
Personal items, valuables, and breakables should be placed in a specific area
to be taken home.
Every Item Needs a Label
Everything that needs to be moved needs to have a label or
else the movers won’t know where to put the boxes when they arrive at the new
location.
Relook Your Office Furniture
Now is the perfect time to sell your old office furniture
and upgrade to contemporary office furniture. Imagine how excited your staff
will be to learn that you will have ergonomic furniture, flexible desks, sit
