Business moving is not the same as residential moving. This requires more planning, more expertise, more experienced, and just about more ‘everything’; it could be stressful. But with the right moving plan and the right movers Atlanta, the process could be much easier.
This does not only involve just one person or a family with a bunch of cookware and furniture. Rather, it involves multiple individuals, office furniture, electronics, and a lot of setting up, building, assembling and disassembling, getting rid of, and much more.
Here is the checklist to make this whole process easy:
Inform Your Team As Soon As It Is Decided That You Are Moving Your Office
Some bosses don’t have the courtesy to let their team members, employees, and staff know that they would move, in advance. That is wrong. If people have to move their workplace, that would affect a lot of their personal arrangements in terms of where they live, transport, families, and such. Letting them know in advance is the least you can do, to give them ample time to adjust.
Assign Tasks As Required
Since there would be multiple people moving, each one may have things to do to make everything easy. It is important to assign particular tasks to particular people for things to move smoothly. If you need a committee to help with organizing and planning, then go ahead and create one.
Keep Everyone Informed
Telling your employees about the planned business move earlier on is great, but it is not enough. Make sure you keep them informed and tell them how the process is going. If there are any changes, make sure to involve them as well. The same goes for if you encounter a problem.
Your staff members are not the only ones you need to keep informed of. Your customers and clients also have a right. Of course, you have to talk to them earlier on as well, and prepare them for the fact that you will move. But also keep them in the know of how things are going.
Of course, you don’t need to tell them who your movers are and what you are getting rid of in the office. But at least keep them informed on any changes that concern them.
Find And Hire Movers
The search for movers starts as soon as you decide you are moving. Finding a good commercial moving company is not easy and is all a process on its own. You have to ensure that they match all your requirements, are flexible, and experienced with moving office equipment. Here is what you should be looking for:
Great Reviews And Recommendations
Just like finding any other products and services online, you need reviews to determine what to choose and what to leave. These are not only meant to indicate to you who to choose but also who not to choose. Always go for the one with many great reviews and ratings. There is a reason why they have those top ratings and reviews.
Qualifications, Experience, And Expertise
Papers and certificates are great. And while they define qualification as far as the system and laws are concerned, they really don’t define qualification as far as excellence and job well done is concerned. What you want to pay attention to is the experience. This is what guarantees expertise and the kind of services you will get.
Some of the questions to ask the movers include how long they have been in the industry, their portfolio, how many businesses they have worked with, or rather similar jobs, as well as study reviews.
Talk About The Services
Remember there would be a lot of planning and packing. You also want to work with the least number of people/ companies. If you can get professional movers who are also professional packers and can handle electronics, office furniture, and other office equipment as required would be great.
