Moving Premises
8. Managing the Move
8.1 If the removal company is not doing the packing, check that everyone is using the agreed labelling and packing procedures.
8.2 Decide a rota for who will be where, when.
- Decide how your move co-ordinator will communicate with the removal company.
- Arrange when employees should arrive at the new premises to unpack.
8.3 At the new premises, set up a help desk where people can note problems as they occur. Then prioritise what to sort out first.
8.4 At the old premises, complete the handover arrangements.
- This may include cleaning up, making good damage and handing over the keys. Leaving the premises in good condition may reduce your liability for repair and redecoration costs.
8.5 Make the move a team effort. Keep up employee morale by showing your gratitude.
- A little generosity in overtime pay and providing a meal will boost morale.
