Corporate Move? Avoid The Costly Mistakes
A corporate move to a new location carries a high level of risk. A few of the major risks to be considered during a corporate move include:
- Paying too much for direct office moving costs
- Failure to coordinate technology transition (IT, phones, etc.)
- Loss of employee productivity through planning and executing a corporate move
- Increased employee turnover due to high stress
- Loss of sales and customer goodwill due to downtime, poor service
- Poor space planning in the new space reduces productivity
Face it, your expertise is running your business (and it’s a full-time job!), not managing a corporate move with a substantial downside. It makes good business sense to hire a relocation consultant to fully manage your corporate move. A relocation consultant understands the risks involved and ensures that your office relocation is completed on-time and on-budget.
A few of the benefits delivered when a relocation consultant handles your corporate move include:
- Knowledge of quality movers and negotiating process reduces the cost of your corporate move–typically it saves more than the cost of the consultant
- Detailed project plan is developed to ensure nothing is forgotten
- Clear communication of corporate move responsibilities to vendors and employees
- Relieves burden on management and employees, allowing them to maintain a high level of productivity, service to customers, and reduces employee turnover
