Commercial Moving Guide: Tips for Unpacking After Your Big Move (Part 4 of 4)
After the Move: Unpacking
Now that you’ve arrived at your new office location, we advise keeping the following in mind as you unpack, to maximize efficiency:
1. Take Inventory: Before you start unpacking, make sure all furniture and boxes have arrived and that nothing’s missing. Remember the suggestion to label your boxes by department, area and priority in our last blog post on commercial moves – and to make an inventory list? This is one of two unpacking steps where this labeling will pay off. Check the boxes and furniture against your master list and note any concerns.
2. Unpack your labeled boxes in prioritized order: Start by unpacking “must haves” first (Boxes labeled with a priority level 1), followed by boxes marked “Priority 2” and “Priority 3,” in order. Doing so will ensure that your employees have everything they need to work efficiently from the moment they arrive in the new location.
3. Enlist the help of your moving committee: Now that you’re officially moved in, encourage your committee to field questions from employees about where to dispose of packing materials, what they need to know about security in the new building and accessibility after hours, etc. The committee will also be key to determining what unanticipated needs may have arisen, from signage and décor that will be needed to helpful communications about the area’s amenities and limitations.
4. Coordinate with IT: Since every employee will need access to computers, phones and internal platforms, find out what the IT experts in your company will need in terms of timing, resources and labor, to ensure timely connectivity.
5. Consider holding a “Welcome to the Building” event: You and your employees have worked hard to make this move – why not take some time to celebrate? Gather everyone in a meeting space that’s big enough to accommodate your staff, make any pertinent announcements, and thank them for their hard work over cake and coffee or a toast.
Congratulations! You’re now an expert in everything associated with moving an office.
