Office Movers – Getting Workers Ready for a Move
Workers are the backbone of a company. When workers are clear about their roles within a company, and they are given all they need to perform their functions well, it can significantly add to a company’s success. It’s important to ensure that your workers are prepared for all scenarios, including an office relocation. If workers are not properly prepared for a move, then the days before, during and after the move can devolve into chaos. This can slow down the time it takes your company to get back to business as usual. But there are ways to get your workers prepared before the office movers arrive. Below are some tips to help you with this process:
Keep workers updated. Provide workers with details about the office move, including when movers will arrive.
Brief workers about their roles. Ensure that workers know what will be expected of them during the move. Decide which workers will oversee what part of the process. For example, the person who manages office supplies should be assigned to obtain stationary and business cards with the new office location. These items should be available before moving day.
Provide staff with boxes. Ensure that all staff members have enough boxes that they will need to pack up their desks and paperwork. They should also be instructed to write their names on each box.
Provide the new office address to workers. Your workers will then be able to pass it along to clients.
Take workers to visit the new office space. If possible, have staff members visit the new office space to familiarize themselves with the general layout and their new work spaces. This way, they will know where to locate their boxes once the office movers are finished with the move.
There are also a few things that you should watch out for, when preparing workers for the move. First, be sure to put instructions in writing. Do not rely on word of mouth to keep workers updated, as this can lead to misinformation and misunderstandings. Secondly, ensure that workers stay out of the way of the office movers on moving day. It is better to have only workers around on that day, who are directly involved in the process. Also, do not allow workers to participate in lifting heavy office furniture or equipment. This job should be left solely to the professional office movers.
