· Sort – The first step in getting ready for an office move is sorting through the things accumulated around your work area. Review the retention policies for your company before you get rid of any important documents. Start on the sorting process well before your move. Devote 10 minutes a day to a section of your office.
· Organize – As you are go through your drawers, files, cabinets and other spaces, take the time to straighten things up to make packing quicker. Gather electronic cords together, place like materials together and consider taking your personal items home until you are in your new space.
· Clean – Who wants to transport dust to their next office space? As you are going through cabinets, sweep out any dirt and grime that has accumulated. Use a disposable cleaning cloth to make the process quick and easy.
· Pack – If you will be responsible for the packing process, this is the next step in your office move. As the moving date approaches, start to box up items you do not use regularly. Clearly label the box with your name (first and last), department, location in the new office and a description of the contents of the box.
· Business as usual – As the move date draws near, it is important to maintain your work habits. Just because you are moving to a new location does not mean your business can be put on hold for a few weeks. Try to keep the in-progress projects in an easy to find location and ensure that they do not get mixed in with the packed materials. When the move is upon you, these should be among the last items packed. Be sure to clearly mark the box “open first” so that you know where to find these important documents.
