No matter why you�re changing offices � perhaps your business has hired a bunch of new employees or is experiencing budget issues � moving still stinks. It�s more than a mere inconvenience when you know that a mishap could result in losing important documents, harming electronic equipment, and damaging expensive office furniture. Whether you�re only in charge of packing the items in your cubicle or you�re responsible for the whole thing, here are some tips to remember to make the move a little less painful.
Before you can even begin thinking about loading up the moving van, get some basic information on where you�re going. If you don�t already know, ask whether the office will be larger or smaller than the current one, what the basic office layout will be, and whether there will be new office furniture or you will be using the same items. Having this information in the back of your mind can help you decide what should make the move and what should be thrown out or recycled.
Now that you have the big picture in mind, you�re ready for some more specific moving advice. Perhaps the most important aspect of moving for most employees will be making your office furniture as light as possible before the move takes place. You�ll likely need to clear out your desk, which could be a relatively simple task, depending on your organizational style. If you are responsible for moving a larger item � say a file cabinet, for example � from point A to point B, you may have quite a task ahead of you. Begin by removing all of the documents the cabinet contains and carefully placing them in moving boxes. Be sure that they�re still in the preferred order (alphabetical or chronological, for example) when you insert them to prevent issues when you arrive at your new location. Just in case your files get shuffled around during the move, take the precautionary measure of carefully labeling your containers, from the folders to the boxes they�re in. Some work before the move can save you from a huge hassle after it�s finished.
After dealing with a filing cabinet or two, packing up the rest of the office should be a cakewalk. Decide which desks, cabinets, and other storage spaces your new office requires, and then completely clear them of their contents, which you can decide to keep or throw away. Once you have sorted through all of these items, tape the drawers and doors closed to prevent them from moving during transit. Chairs should be one of the last things loaded onto the van and one of the first things you unpack. This is because while employees are packing up the office, they may need a place to sit and sort items or take a break from preparation. They are also useful when it comes time to unpack the boxes in your new office, so be sure to store them together where they can be easily accessed.
Good luck, and happy moving!
