What are the Objectives when Moving Office?

Moving Office Objectives

If your office move is planned correctly, a relocation can be one of the best things that can happen to a business. But there are no guarantees when relocating a business, and as many things can go wrong with a move as can go right.

Keeping a clear head throughout the process, doing the right amount of forward planning and having clear objectives from the outset will help you to manage and execute a smooth and successful office move.

Here are some common objectives to consider as well as practical ways to help achieve them:

To end up in the right Office Space
Your new office is going to showcase your business objectives and corporate brand, and it's also going to be one of your highest assets in terms of cost and reputation. Use a local Commercial Property Agent to help you secure the right space that is best suited to your business and download the Office Space Checklist to help with your decision-making.

To Avoid Business Disruption
You'll want all your IT equipment in the right place and working as it should on the first morning in your new office. This involves advanced planning of your IT Relocation and ensuring the right cabling infrastructure is in place in the new office BEFORE you move. Download the IT Relocation Checklist to help get this important aspect of your office move right.

To Move on Time
It will cost your business if your office move is delayed, so you will need to establish your key deadlines and work hard to ensure you meet them. The Moving Office Timetable will help you logically establish what you need to do and when.

To Move within Budget
Delivering your office move within the set budget is another success indicator. To help you plan and establish a realistic and achievable budget, download the Moving Office Budget Planner.

Staff to be happy & settle quickly
A happy workforce are a productive one, so be sure to look out for your staff needs and concerns throughout the process. The HR Guide to Moving Office offers practical communication tips on how to deliver a successful office move as far as staff are concerned.

And Remember "Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance".
