How to Prepare an Organization for a Move
Corporate relocation can be one of the most complicated tasks in itself and very time-consuming. Still, proper planning and organization are done, the process should be smooth and efficient. At Goodrich Packers Movers, we know the effort that corporate relocation entails, and thus we are here to guide you through it.
Develop a Holistic Moving Plan
There has to be a complete moving plan that outlines every activity to be performed. You could have a project manager or a team of Movers for the whole process. The activities will have to be broken down into to-do lists, with deadlines, and people performing them must be aware of their roles and responsibilities. This should even extend to packing, new office layouts, and contacting customers about the move.
Communicate with Stakeholders and Employees in Good Time
Communicate well to your employees, clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders before you actually execute your move. Keep them up to date on the moving schedule and even the new office location. Make your employees understand what is expected of them during the moving process and ensure that instructions are clear.
Managing downtime is a great challenge of an organizational move. Have an elaborate plan and schedule so that business is least disturbed. Plan your move during the slow period or over the weekend so that it does not affect productivity. Ensure that business-critical functions continue without interruption, even remotely, or at a temporary facility.
Essential Steps for a Successful Office Relocation
- Set timeliness and tasks early.
- Must make a list and label all items.
- Communicate with employees and clients.
- Clear tech setup.
- Eliminate disturbances to business operations.
Once all the installations are in and settled, start checking all systems in the new place, like the telephone lines and Internet connections and IT infrastructure to ensure everything works fine for a smooth resumption of regular activities by the team.
Change of Address and Legal Documents
Update all legal documents, company records, and business registrations with your new address. Inform all the service providers, bank, and insurance companies about your relocation. Update your website, marketing material, and business cards with the new address.
