There's no sugarcoating it. When you're trying to relocate a
commercial business, things can get hectic. Depending on the number of
employees, a move may take a lot of time and effort to coordinate. One way to
greatly reduce stress on moving day is to hire professional movers. Maple Grove
business owners and managers can execute an efficient move with just a little
bit of help. We're going to cover some tips for the big move.
Coordinate Employees
Make sure you have a detailed plan for your employees before
the movers get there. It may be a good idea to let non-essential employees have
the day off, or stager their start times. Too many people can sometimes be more
of a hassle than anything else. Have one main point of contact who coordinates
the employees. That way, if someone has a question, one person will be able to
answer all of them and have things under control.
Label Everything
Label, label, label. And when we say label, we mean
everything. You'll thank yourself in the long run if you take the time to label
every box, key and possession. They say that you don't realize how much stuff
you have until you go to move, and the same is true in an office. You'll be
amazed how many copies of the same thing are in your office. If you are
diligent about labeling, you'll have a good chance of the movers getting
everything to its proper place at the end of the day.
Clear Pathways
Though it may seem logical to make piles of boxes in the
hallways or lobby, don't. You'll want to keep all walkways clear. There is a
particular way in which our movers pack the truck. What this means for you is
that items that are located in certain areas may have to be packed before items
in another area. If the hallways are cluttered, it may be hard to move larger
items to the truck in an efficient manner.
