With corporate relocation in general, the organization is a long process that demands more time. However, the current pandemic makes the situation more complex. Many companies throughout the country have either completely closed or mostly rely on remote work, with very few employees coming to the office once in a while. Some members of the team might be either infected or in risk groups. But if you schedule a relocation and have to go through with it during a pandemic, here are the critical points to make the transition as easy as possible. Happy move!
Assign Few Employees
In normal circumstances, a business relocation would require assigning a manager who will be able to delegate duties on different aspects of relocation further – packing safely, transferring utilities, contacting clients, partners, etc. You will need the same in this case; however, fewer people will have to be involved, and the contact needs to be avoided at all costs. Regardless of whether it is a local move (for instance, relocation to Libertyville) or a long-distance one, the organization needs to be on point.
Check on Your Staff
Being humane is what we need and what always counts, and especially in times like this. Just like you, your employees are facing challenging times with COVID-19-related issues. They (or their family members) might belong to a risk group, and every day might be tough to handle. When making plans and organization, be sure to check on your employees to see what they are capable of doing and how all of you can go through this in the best possible way, together.
Safety First
Assign only the Chicago moving company that is well-trained and will surely follow through with the safety measures. When doing quote estimates, make sure to avoid contact, and make most of the arrangements, whatever possible, via phone or e-mail. All your team, including the relocation team you hire, needs to follow through with the appropriate safety measures – face masks, gloves, using sanitizing products, etc.
