Frequently Asked Questions about Office Moves

While there is no set time frame, your organization should start planning as soon as possible. Planning an office move can take several months. Moving an entire corporate office is a complex undertaking and to minimize disruptions in business operations, you’ll need as much time as possible.

You should keep employees informed as soon as you’re able to make your move public. It’s important for them to understand every aspect of the move and how it will affect their lives.
