Without forethought and deliberation, a commercial move can be very stressful for all employees. Moving the entire office of a large corporation takes time, proper planning, transportation, and supplies. Corporations can facilitate such a move by following some guidelines and hiring commercial moving companies. Memphis is home to many companies that provide the special services needed for a commercial move.
Proper Planning
Department heads and colleagues should meet to create a commercial moving plan. A list needs to be prepared for all the tasks each department needs to do so that it is prepared for the moving company. Each person should be given a specific job for which they are responsible to ensure that everything in the office is prepared and ready to go on moving day.
Sufficient Time
Everyone in the office should be kept abreast regarding the move and be completely involved in the moving process. This will provide them enough time so that they can make any possible changes in their daily routine and enable a seamless transition for everyone else in the office.
For example, an office move may mean that someone needs to take a different route to work which could affect the daycare center they use. It is common courtesy to give employees enough time to make any change in plans with regard to the new office location, so that any employee does not leave the company when notified of an unexpected move.
Appropriate Transport
Not only are all of the employees’ belongings moved during an office move but items such as office furniture, computers and other equipment are moved as well. Hiring professional commercial moving companies ensures that all such items arrive safely at their destination. They have the expertise in disconnecting and reconnecting electronic equipment and moving computers, electronics and other equipment.
Packing Supplies
Commercial moving companies can also provide the appropriate packing supplies. Their experience with office moves enables them to determine how many boxes, rolls of packing tape, and permanent markers are needed to ensure all the items in the office are packed and ready on moving day.
Commercial moving companies offer many advantages for a relocation including acting as a single point of contact, pre-move planning and budgeting and asset management to ensure a corporate move is seamless and less stressful for everyone involved.
