Keeping Employees Informed
Great communication is key to a smooth headquarters relocation. Start by creating a relocation committee made up of people from each department. They will become the conduit to ensure communication about the relocation plan is relayed to all of your employees. Keeping employees informed helps to relieve anxiety and promotes a positive vibe surrounding the relocation. While hectic, through proper change management this is a great time to create excitement and energy within your organization. You should also make sure that vendors, customers, and associates are given appropriate details about the move as well. You may even want to consider issuing a press release and certainly utilize social media to announce exciting milestones.
Updating Licenses and Policies
Another important but often overlooked task is to research the area you are moving to and identify all necessary licenses and permits required. You don’t want to receive penalties or fines for not having the correct licenses or policies in place. Now is also a good time to review your employee handbook to ensure it reflects and is in line with the local laws of your headquarters’ new location.
A Plan for Business Operations
When you are relocating your headquarters, you must have in place what needs to remain operational during the move, what might be disrupted (and how to deal with it), and what should be duplicated to ensure a smooth transition.

Ensure you know what staff and technology are required to keep your business ticking and running efficiently during the moving process.
