Sounds familiar? Don’t worry — a few small steps can save you from weeks of confusion.
What Really Matters After the Move?
- Check Before You Settle -Take a slow walk around. Is the reception desk scratched? Are all chairs accounted for? It’s easier to report damages now than two weeks later when no one remembers what happened.
- Think Layout, Not Just Furniture - It’s tempting to place desks wherever they fit, but that’s a shortcut you’ll regret. Spend some time deciding seating and pathways. A little planning saves you from dragging heavy tables around again.
- Start Small, Not Perfect - You don’t need every cubicle polished right away. Set up the basics — a few desks, reception, and maybe the meeting room. Once people can sit and log in, the rest can fall into place slowly.
- Fix the Tech Early - No internet, no work. Before you arrange plants or paintings, make sure the routers, printers, and plugs are all working. Believe me, nothing frustrates employees more than a non-functional system on day one.
- Safety First - Wires across the floor, boxes in walkways, or chairs jammed into corners — they’re accidents waiting to happen. Keep things clear and ergonomic. Your team will thank you later.
- Talk to Your People - Moves unsettle routines. A quick word with your staff about new seating, or even asking them to suggest arrangements, makes the shift feel smoother. People like being involved.
