Every relocation project is different. But they all begin the same – with careful planning. A new facility can invigorate your organization, improve morale and increase productivity. But, a poorly planned relocation is disastrous to work flow.
Shore Total Office is a leader in the logistics of organizational relocation. Our Site Services team was created with the specific goal of getting your organization packed up, moved, and running in record time. From the move plan, to move day logistics, we take care of all the details so you can focus on managing your people.
Relocation Plan
Planning is the most critical component of successful relocation. Our Team identifies key employees, vendors, and consultants, and includes them in the planning stage. Together, we create a detailed plan, identifying milestones and critical dates that need to be achieved. The move plan is a living document, which is constantly updated and communicated as conditions change and as the final plan is negotiated.
Fragile items, and critical work items, are identified at this stage such as computers, printers, phones, and office equipment. Getting these items unpacked and back on-line is critical to min- imizing downtime. Shore assists in packing tutorials, material needs, and calming the nerves!
Employee Communications
Several days prior to the move, employees receive customized packets. Each packet contains information about the move, new location plans, box labels, and instructions on how to pack, and what to pack. Should questions or problems arise, we include extensive “who to call” lists and make ourselves available at any time via phone or email. All the while, our staff is on site to assist anyone with questions, comments, or even a hug if nerves got the best of you!
The Move
Moves can be phased, or done after hours, overnight or on weekends. Our team is flexible to coordinate the entire event. We verify that building administrators are notified, all contents are packed and “move-ready”, and that Information Technology teams are standing by for “take- down” and “re-install”.
The day after the move, Shore Total Office has a team of installers and technicians working on site to take care of any adjustments and minor issues that arise.
With careful planning, the right team, and the right processes, Shore Total Office ensures your move is a success for everyone. You and your employees can enjoy your new facility, and move your organization forward more efficiently than ever.
