Some basic guidelines for internal moves  

Good planning for internal moves will limit disruptions for the teams moved and those sharing their space. Internal moves might include the following:

Sourcing a checklist adapted for internal moves is a good start. There are generally so many details requiring attention that it is easy to miss something important. The checklist will simply keep you on track.  

If the internal move is for a small group, complete it in working hours. For large groups, consider moving overnight or over the weekend. Whichever is most practical and least disruptive. Let the building or maintenance manager know in good time when you want to move outside of standard office hours.   

Communicate, communicate, communicate. Again, as with office relocations, communicating with stakeholders is imperative. When an internal move becomes a possibility, communicate with the teams and people impacted. They will most probably know about it already from hearsay, but formal communication is necessary.   

Ask the team to pack the content of their desks or cubicles if possible. And take home any personal belongings such as photos or plants they don’t want to be damaged. Internal business relocation is the ideal time to clean and declutter. Put out more recycling bins and ask cleaning staff to prepare for additional cleaning.

Emotional impact of internal moves  

Internal moves are a regular occurrence in some companies, and staff learn to adapt. But for some people, it is more difficult than others because it has an emotional impact. Be understanding of this. 

Tip: When people use the same office chair for a long time, they know the ‘feel’ of it. Mark each chair clearly with the person’s name. Sitting in the new space on their old chair makes people feel more comfortable and become productive more quickly.
