BASIC REASONS TO MOVE YOUR WORKPLACE

There is better office space available. Your new location might be better suited to the type of work that your company or business unit does. You could even be able to come up with your own unique design for your new office.

  • Getting to know your services, as well as your partners and coworkers.
  • Getting in touch with clients or customers on a more personal level. You could even be able to create new opportunities by migrating.
  • Rent reductions or better space use at a lower cost.
  • The other priorities of your firm. In any case, they should be enthusiastic about your business concept!

A month prior to your move

  • Prepare ahead of time. Book your movers in Perth real soon so that it doesn’t bother you at the end times.
  • Furniture, equipment, and office supplies should all be inventoried and tagged. To avoid losing your company’s honour plaques in transit, label and tag everything in your office (or worse, the trophy collection). Also, take pictures of your inventory when classifying it in case you need to file a claim.
  • Gather your moving supplies. Make sure your staff have cardboard boxes, packing tape, and labelling materials if they’re packing their own desks.
  • Make a utility transfer. Set a date for your present office’s utilities to be turned off, and look into utility choices for your new location.
  • Openly express your message.
  • Make a list of people who have moved. Send an email or a letter to your clients and consumers informing them of your new contact information.

Update your company’s address information. Below is a list of subscriptions, mailing lists, and websites where your present address will need to be altered to ensure that your business does not suffer during the transition.

  • Business accounts
  • Website of the company
  • Accounts on social media
  • Financial institutions and banks
  • Accounts payable and receivable
  • Subscriptions to magazines and newspapers
  • Google, Yelp, and other review sites all have listings.

One week prior to your relocation

Before moving day, conduct a survey of your new office. If you already have access to your new place, we recommend inspecting it before moving in (to make sure there aren’t any dangling wires or broken lights).

Internal communication is essential.

Examine your itinerary for moving day. Discuss when the movers will arrive, who will be present to let them in, what goods will need to be ready for the movers once they arrive, who will be present during the move, and who will be responsible for shutting up the facility once the movers have left.

Employees should be reminded to pack their personal items. Although we encourage keeping employees accountable for their personal belongings, if your company offers laptops, monitors, and other IT equipment, you may want to keep these goods for your IT staff or professional movers.

Consider the following:

  • Stock up on packing supplies. If you’re afraid about running out of packing items, buy extras and return the ones you don’t need later to avoid any last-minute rushing.
  • Stock up on floor covers, moving blankets, and other safety precautions. Protect your belongings and your current dwelling by using packing materials to prevent paint chips, scuffs, dents, broken light fixtures, and other damage.

After your relocation,

Consider the following:

  • Test your technology to ensure that your company can come back up as soon as possible—and troubleshoot as necessary.
  • Employees should be assigned to unpacking, removing tags from equipment and furniture, and replenishing supply cabinets. Task employees with unpacking and refilling if your professional movers haven’t already done so. The more hands on deck you have, the faster your company can get back up and running.

In conclusion,

Other arrangements, such as planning out your new office and ordering new keys, should be made ahead of time to ensure a smoother relocation (especially if there are any last-minute surprises).

Remember that office removalists in Perth may assist with everything from box packing to desk and chair setup. Some even offer services like transition planning and rubbish removal, allowing you to cross something off your to-do list.
