Successfully transferring your business

Surfy, your trusted ally available for seamless workplace transitions and redesigns

Transferring and reorganising workspace are pivotal steps for any growing or evolving company. To successfully navigate this change, meticulous planning and execution are essential. Surfy positions itself as the ideal partner to guide these transitions effectively. Here’s how Surfy supports each stage of the process:

Assessment Phase

Before initiating any transfer or redesign, conducting a thorough assessment is crucial. This phase helps define specific needs and anticipate future challenges.

Capacity Study

Analyse available surfaces by type, determine the number of workstations needed, and assess current space utilisation for better understanding.

Equipment Inventory

Compile an inventory list to ensure all necessary equipment is available and in good condition before the move. Surfy automatically provides comprehensive lists containing purchase dates, references, and suppliers.

Needs Analysis

Identify specific needs of each department in the short and medium term. Ensure each department has adequate space to operate efficiently, taking into account upcoming organisational changes.

Geographical Distribution Analysis

Evaluate the geographical distribution of employees, especially if the company operates across multiple sites or plans to centralise or decentralise certain activities. Optimise team locations to enhance collaboration and reduce commuting times.

‍

Design and Layout

Once needs are identified, proceed with designing and configuring the new space to meet company requirements.

Choosing the New Location

Select a location that perfectly matches identified needs following a targeted capacity study. Consider factors such as size, location, accessibility, and available infrastructure. Find a space that supports operations while providing a pleasant and stimulating environment for employees.

Ergonomic Design

Create an ergonomic and productive work environment, including desk layouts, furniture and equipment selection, and common area arrangements. Good design enhances employee well-being (QVT), promotes collaboration, and boosts productivity.

Space Optimisation

Define occupancy ratios for each workstation to maximise space efficiency without compromising comfort and functionality. Make the most of available premises while offering a pleasant working environment.

Technology Integration

Incorporate necessary technologies to facilitate collaboration, including communication tools, project management systems, and modern office equipment. Well-integrated technologies can transform team dynamics, improving productivity and efficiency (e.g., IoT, service software, HRIS).

‍

Implementation and Transition

Implementation and transition are critical stages requiring effective organisation and communication.

Managing Moving Logistics

Ensure smooth logistics by providing accurate information to on-site personnel. Coordinate teams, manage schedules, and safely relocate equipment to prevent interruptions and delays. Surfy also helps inventory items to ensure each workstation has necessary materials during this transition period.

Change Management

Evaluate outcomes post-move, analyse employee feedback, and adjust strategies accordingly. Effective change management minimises resistance and ensures a smooth transition.

Effective Communication

Support ongoing communication with employees throughout the project using visual aids like welcome booklets, evacuation plans, and user guides. Inform and reassure employees about the new workspace operations.
