It may be a dilemma for many businesses whether they would move into a bigger office and what are the things to consider on getting a new one.
Moving into a new office can be pretty stressful but let us share with you our experience so you can consider and learn how we deal with the major move in.
We had our office in Stone Mountain Drive for the past 3 years and there are alot of things that we considered before moving to our new office home in Parklake Drive. We realized that with our growing family we would need to have more coworking space for the room for the employees to comfortably work.
We took some time to decide whether to move or not. Preparing the business is the first thing we did. We anticipated that there would be a downtime and since we need to keep up with the deadline and we cannot afford to lose so much, Scheduling played a big role, especially since we decided to close the business for about a week, we let everyone know about the relocation.
We visited the new location 2 days before the moving date. We make sure that it is clean and ready for occupancy. All the outlets and electric grid are inspected and made sure that it's working because once equipment has already set in, it would be difficult for any repairs to be taken care of . We decided to have the walls painted with colors salmon pink and gold that matches the organization’s color branding.
We packed everything according to how essential they are. From equipment, furniture decor and paperwork. Since the new office in Parklake Drive is very spacious, we decided to add more furniture to entertain our visitors. We certainly love to add another set of tables to our pantry for the employees to enjoy.
Once we were able to set up the bigger equipment , We made sure that we also brought those personal things which would make us feel loved like our plants and pictures to keep our day with a smile.
A day after the move in we decided to throw an office warming party just to make feel the good vibe of our new working place.
