If you’re planning an office move, don’t forget that the coronavirus is still out there. Social distancing and other safety measures are likely to be in place for some time.
Here are a few hints and tips for those of you anticipating a move during these tumultuous times.
Many removal companies are still operating throughout the pandemic and most of them will have posted details of how their way of working has adapted to the changes. Pay attention to these and choose a moving company that is committed to completing your office move in as safe a manner as possible.
Before you move into your new office, ask your letting company if the offices will be deep cleaned prior to your move. If not, it’s a worthwhile investment to arrange this yourself, either before you transfer all your office equipment, or just before your staff move in.
It’s best to involve as few members of your team as possible during the move itself. Some of them will need to be there, of course, to direct the removals team, install the IT infrastructure, perform pre- and post-move checks, and so on. Make sure any staff involved in the move know what’s expected of them and how they can successfully socially distance from one another. Likewise, ensure that they have any protective equipment they need, including face masks and hand sanitiser.
Studies suggest that COVID-19 can remain active on cardboard for as long as 24-hours. Make sure all your office equipment is packed up and ready to go with at least 24 hours to spare, as this will limit the chance of any possible infection from spreading to the rest of your work force.
