Making a location change for your company is quite an endeavor to approach. One of the most important factors you’ll have to consider when preparing for a corporate move is making sure your timing is right. To ensure that your corporate move goes as smoothly as possible, check out these tips for timing the move.
Delegate
A company move is a big undertaking and is far too much work for just one person. If you find yourself in the position of making the move, don’t be afraid to delegate work to others. One way to do this is to create a team specifically meant to take the lead on how the move goes along. The team should be comprised of management as well as lower-level employees. With a diverse team, details of every aspect of the move should be covered.
A committee or team for the move means that issues will be identified and dealt with quickly and smoothly. As long as upper management takes heed of the team’s decisions and supports them, the work will get done without many problems. This will guarantee that you can approach the rest of the move in a timely manner.
Move Off-Season
Summer is known as peak-season for pretty much everything – vacations, weddings, work changes, and more, and peak season means higher prices for pretty much everything, including products and services. Moving to a new house is also an activity usually done in the summertime, especially if there are children in the family, so this means that moving costs will also be on the rise during these months.
To avoid the higher prices and unavailability of services, consider making your corporate move during the off-seasons of autumn and winter. This will ensure that you have your choice of available movers that can handle your company’s needs as well as lower prices.
Choose the Right Day
Choosing the right season to move is one thing, but chances are you weren’t aware that even the day of the week can make a big difference for your move.
If your company has a lot of individual employees, plan ahead to allow them time to pack up their own personal items and work materials during the workweek. Avoid after-hours or weekend work for the majority of your employees as much as possible. Then, when it comes time for moving everything to the new location, you’ll need fewer employees to assist, which means less overtime pay your company will have to shell out and more happy employees.
