Is there anything more stressful than moving your company to a new office? Not only do you have to organize and manage the relocation, you also have to keep the actual work going while the office is in flux! Mr. Junk has some ideas to make things easier. Check out our tips for a more efficient office move.
- Schedule Smart. Plan the relocation during the least busy season for your company, and if possible, plan the actual moving day for when the office is closed. And when you’re estimating how much time it will take, remember: moving is crazy! Give your company plenty of time to account for unexpected delays.
- Assign Teams. If you’re handling parts of the move in-house, be specific about assignments. You don’t want ten people to think they’re in charge of unpacking, while nobody is keeping track of the moving van! Make sure that everyone can access the to-do lists and important contact numbers.
- Go Home! As much as possible, make sure that employees have the capability to work remotely during the actual move. This will give your employees and the movers the space to work uninhibited, and keep your employees free of distractions.
- Hire Mr. Junk. For anything that’s not making the trip, contact Mr. Junk for a free quote. You only pay for what we haul, we focus on donating and recycling before trashing anything–and we’ll sweep up after ourselves!
It’s never too early to start planning for a move, and that’s doubly true when moving your office. Call Mr. Junk today, and don’t forget to pack the coffee maker!
