An office move can be overly stressful for your staff, especially if they are uncertain about their job security or if their role will change once the move is over. These things happen when staff are not properly informed or consulted about the move. This can lead to decreased morale and increased staff turnover, with workers leaving because they don’t feel valued.

Client or customer relationships

If your office move threatens to disrupt your business operations, it can also disrupt your client relationships. Your clients or customers may be worried that your business is going through a rocky time, and it may cause some to move their business elsewhere. This can lead to lost clients and revenue.

A poorly planned office move can also damage your brand reputation. If your staff, clients and customers see that your company is not able to handle a simple office move, they may question your ability to control and manage more complex projects, such as their customer accounts.

You can avoid these negative consequences by carefully planning your office relocation in a way that will cause minimal disruption to your staff, clients and customers.

What you need to do ahead of your office move

It is advisable to start planning your office relocation as early as possible. Leaving your move to the last minute is never advisable because so much can go wrong. Relocating your office can be challenging; this is why getting assistance from a professional office moving company such as Harrow Green makes sense.

Here are some of our top tips for a smooth office move:

• Start planning early: The earlier you start planning, the more time you’ll have to make decisions about the move, such as where you’re going to move to, what furniture you’re going to bring, and how you are going to pack and unpack your belongings. This will give you peace of mind knowing you have made the best possible decisions for your business.
• Create a moving checklist: This will help you keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed before, during, and after the move.
• Delegate tasks to your staff (or not): This will help spread the workload and ensure everything gets done. Alternatively, you can outsource the whole packing and moving process to our team at Harrow Green, allowing your staff to do the job they are paid for. This will help keep productivity levels high.
• Communicate with your staff, clients and customers: Moving an office can be disruptive for employees, clients and customers, so it’s essential to communicate with them early and often about the move. This will help reduce stress and ensure everyone is on the same page.
• Choose a reputable office relocation company: A reputable moving company like Harrow Green can help you plan and execute the move smoothly. 
• Pack your belongings carefully: This will help to prevent damage to your belongings during the move. Harrow Green uses industry-specific packing crates to ensure the highest level of protection for your fragile IT equipment. 
• Be prepared for the unexpected: Things don’t always go according to plan, so be prepared for unforeseen challenges. This is why working with a professional office relocation specialist such as Harrow Green makes sense. With over 30 years of experience in office relocation services, we know how to avoid the most common pitfalls businesses experience when taking a DIY approach to their office move. 

With careful planning and execution, your office move can be a smooth and successful experience, especially if you work with our professional and highly experienced regional office relocation teams at Harrow Green.
