Designate a moving coordinator

Decide who within your company is the best person to spearhead your business’s relocation — whether that’s your COO, HR manager, or someone else on your team with mad organization skills. This person should also be a rock star when it comes to logistics and internal communication.

Establish a moving timeline

Create a timeline for the office move — and keep everyone in the loop every step of the way. Make sure that employees know about the move, when they should pack their stuff, and when they should start commuting to the new office. You’ll also want to inform your current landlord of the upcoming move as well as any vendors you do business with.

Update your business’s contact info

When the time comes, update your business’s contact info on your website and any social media platforms you use. It’s also a good idea to keep customers informed about exactly when you’ll be moving and how soon they should start visiting you at the new office location (if your business is client-facing).

Declutter and make an inventory list

Have each team member spend some time declutter their desk spaces and common areas, to minimize the amount of stuff you’ll need to transport via moving truck. It’s also smart to make an inventory list of every item that needs to be relocated, to ensure that it all gets packed — and that nothing is lost in transit when you reach your destination and unpack everything.
