A common concern among those who need to place their personal belongings in storage—whether for a short- or long-term period of time—is their safety from exposure to extreme heat, cold, or humidity.

Security is of prime importance when placing your personal belongings in storage, whether for a short period of time or a more long-term stay. Though selecting a facility with added measures may cost a bit more, peace of mind in knowing your prized possessions are well protected is, ultimately, priceless.

How do you minimize stress during what is traditionally one of the most stressful periods for employees and business owners alike? Office moves can be trying times, but can be made much more manageable through adequate advance planning, open communication—and perhaps the assistance of a professional moving company. 

One of the most crucial components of moving into a new office is taking the time to map out its layout well in advance of the relocation. Maximizing space in such a way as to best benefit your team and its unique dynamic will go a long way in ensuring productivity doesn’t take an unnecessary dip during, and even after, the transition.

One of the keys to ensuring your office move is a success is to minimize downtime, or eliminate it altogether, if possible. With the proper advance planning, and constant communication with key players within the company, a corporate relocation can be a relatively seamless transition.

When planning an office move, it’s important to organize the process as meticulously as possible, to ensure crucial tasks don’t become overlooked along the way. One key method for accomplishing this is to make a list of the steps necessary leading up to the relocation, those parties responsible for them, and the time frame within which they should be “checked off.”

Packing an entire office’s worth of belongings… Where to begin, right? Relocating under any circumstances can be a difficult undertaking, made all the more stressful while attempting to run a business with limited interruption. With the proper planning, and delegation of responsibilities to select parties, this process can be streamlined to ensure a smooth transition to your new location.

The temptation when relocating your office may be to attempt to handle all the tasks yourself; however, it is highly recommended that you enlist the services of a reputable, professional moving company for such an endeavor.

Move for Hunger has delivered more than 11,479,245 pounds of food to food banks across the United States and Canada. These donations account for more than 9,566,038 meals for people in need.

Recently, Steinway Moving & Storage helped to raise that number during its annual Fill-A-Truck event, held on April 6, at King Kullen Grocery in Rockville Centre, during which they collected non-perishable food donations from the community.

One of the most important components of planning an office relocation is laying out a structured timeline, which outlines all the tasks to be completed leading up to, during, and even after, this major transition. While each situation may bring its own unique factors, setting up a proposed schedule is universally useful in minimizing potential stress and unnecessary corporate upheaval.
