How do you want to move?
You can choose to move all at once, or do it in stages. There is really no right or wrong choice here. It just doesn’t depend on what you prefer. This is the first important decision that is made during the preparation.
Expiring leases usually force people to move within a day. If you move within 1 day, the advantage is that not much of your working time and the working time of your staff is lost. The business process remains intact. Your company has to be closed for a full day, but can start up again the next day.
If you do not need to move on the same day, for example because you do not need to move out of the old building immediately, you can do this in several phases. The most practical option is to move per department. Most employees will then continue to work the entire time. Keep in mind that the moving time will be longer and the staff will temporarily be under greater pressure.
Choose the right time to move
When choosing a date, also consider the new construction. If there are multiple companies in the building, check whether there are sufficient parking spaces for trucks on the chosen date. Also make sure that movers can easily access the new office space. Expert staff Once all this has been arranged, it is important to develop a clear plan for the employees. All activities must be described in detail and it must be clear who is responsible for which task. Organize a small presentation so that everyone understands what is expected of them. After all, the move can only go smoothly if all employees are aware of the situation.
