You know your people best - what works with one person might not work with another. Communicating the reasons for office moves helps people feel like they have a say in the process.
You can do this in a way that fits your business. Maybe you want to film a short video - one that shows the new space. You can take photos, set it to music - have fun with it.
At Liffey Van Lines, we've built a few contacts on the videography and photography side over the years - feel free to give us a shout.
Let them know what kind of timeframe you're looking at, and how you'll be able to help them prepare. Keep in mind that you're excited about this office move, so try to get that across!
A new office means new routes to work, it might even mean changes to childcare arrangements. Give your people enough time to get used to the idea.
The best way is to get your moving date, and plan backwards. When do you need to let people know? What do you need to prepare?
These can be tricky questions, but Liffey Moving are here to help.
