Do I Need to be at the Office When the Movers are There?

So, you are moving your Phoenix, AZ, company to a new office location, and you have done your due diligence to plan well in advance. You have already hired a moving company, scheduled a moving date, and kept your employees and customers informed. Now, you may be wondering whether you need to be present when the movers arrive. It is recommended that you be there during the move, in case the movers have any questions as they are handling your items. If you aren’t present and something happens, everyone involved will be unhappy.

While it is a good idea to be at the office when the movers are there, professional movers are experienced and know what they are doing, so aside from answering questions and providing some direction, you should allow them to do their job. Giving the movers orders will make them feel micromanaged and unhappy, which can make a potentially stressful situation even worse. Additionally, try to be as present as possible for the moving team. Stay close so that if something happens, they will be able to find you and let you know right away. Make sure the movers know where they can park the moving trucks and how they can access your office space ahead of time, so that it does not hinder the process at all. Finally, show your movers that you appreciate their help. Tipping your movers is not necessary. However, if you feel they did a good job, then feel free to do so. Most movers will not accept tips, and in some cases, there are policies against this, so at the very least, make sure to thank them for the hard work they did.
