When planning an office relocation, the queries that you make at the very beginning of the project may reveal the unclear areas of your project, allowing you to avoid costly surprises and blunders later on.
The following are Seven critical things to ask yourself before planning an office relocation:
-
What do you want to achieve?
Consider why you wish to relocate and why your current office isn’t satisfying your needs. This will assist you to precisely identify what you want in your new workplace space.
-
How will the office relocation assist your company?
What do you hope the new office will do for your company? Perhaps you want better working conditions, reduced rates, and more room, which of these will you prioritise?
-
What kind of timetable do you have in mind?
Knowing your critical dates will help you minimise delays and disruptions to your business during the transfer.
-
How do you intend to inform employees about the office relocation, and how will the relocation affect them?
When selecting new office space, keep your employees’ demands in mind, as this will effect their journey to and from work. Remember that any kind of change will be unpleasant for children, so you will need to keep them informed and interested.
-
Who is in charge of coordinating the office relocation?
While an office move is a collaborative activity, someone must be in charge of organising the process and keeping track of each aspect of the move. They must be well-organised, good people and process managers, and have enough time to devote to the project.
-
How will the relocation affect your company’s operations?
You’ll want to reduce company downtime as much as possible, so plan your relocation during a slower time of year and attempt to move over the weekend so you can be fully functioning in your new workplace on Monday morning.
-
How will you measure the accomplishments of the office relocation?
How will you assess the success of your office relocation? Set some goals for yourself and solicit input from employees and clients about your new office atmosphere.
