In 2020, Covid-19 emerged and reshaped the traditional work format worldwide. Now, the "new normal" is the buzzword. Many companies have opted to expand the size of their offices to accommodate employees with recommended health protocols from the WHO, while others have downsized, adopting hybrid or remote work models.

Given this scenario, the number of offices needing to relocate has significantly increased.

Before anything else, it is crucial to find a suitable workspace that can accommodate the entire company. Accessing SiiLA SPOT you can find corporate, industrial, and coworking spaces throughout Brazil.

Here are 5 tips for an organized office move:

Personal Items:

The first step in an office move is separating employees' personal belongings. Since we spend so much time in the office, it often becomes an extension of our homes, and bringing personal items is common. However, during a move, these items can cause disruptions or even get lost. It is advisable for employees to take their personal belongings home until the time is right to return them to the new workspace.

Categorization:

It is essential to categorize the company's possessions, ensuring that each item finds its proper place in the new space. Labels can be a great help during this phase of the move.

Packing:

The process of packing items can be exhausting without proper organization. It is ideal to group boxes according to the objects from each department. Each batch of boxes should be designated for a specific department, preventing boxes from roaming around the office in search of their intended destination.

Inventory:

Maintaining an inventory with numeric labels on the boxes, along with a list of their contents, is crucial. This is especially important for easily locating small assembly parts, furniture pieces, and other objects.

Destination:

Once the new location is determined and each department's placement is defined, the respective boxes can be unloaded in their designated areas. This makes unpacking and organizing much easier.

An extra tip: Corporate moves provide an excellent opportunity to thoroughly evaluate each item and decide what deserves a place in the new space and what should be discarded. Removing unnecessary items streamlines the entire process and saves space in the boxes.
