A commercial relocation does not end when furniture and equipment arrive at the new office. Once employees begin working in the new space, it is important to evaluate whether workstations are arranged comfortably and efficiently. A post-move workplace ergonomics assessment can help identify issues with desk placement, chair positioning, monitor height, lighting, and other elements of the workspace.
At University Moving & Storage, we help businesses throughout Farmington Hills, MI; Grand Rapids, MI; West Chester, OH; and Indianapolis, IN coordinate organized commercial relocations and prepare their new workplaces for employees.
Begin the assessment by reviewing individual workstations. Employees should have enough room to work comfortably and access frequently used equipment without unnecessary reaching or twisting.
Check the placement of:
Small changes to workstation layouts can make the new office more comfortable and functional.
Desk and chair placement should allow employees to work comfortably throughout the day. Chairs should provide appropriate support, while desks should provide sufficient space for the employee's equipment and daily tasks.
Consider whether employees can sit comfortably with their feet supported and their work surfaces positioned at a practical height.
Computer monitors should be positioned so employees can view their screens without repeatedly bending or turning their necks. During the post-move assessment, look at the height, distance, and angle of each monitor.
If employees use multiple monitors, evaluate whether the arrangement allows them to view their screens comfortably while completing their regular tasks.
Keyboard and mouse placement can also affect workstation comfort. Employees should be able to use these devices without excessive reaching or awkward positioning.
Check whether equipment is positioned within a comfortable working area and make adjustments when necessary.
The physical layout of the new office can influence how employees interact with their workstations. Evaluate lighting, glare, walkways, storage areas, and the placement of shared equipment.
Make sure employees have adequate workspace and that frequently used shared resources can be accessed without creating unnecessary congestion.
Employees interact with their workstations every day, making their feedback an important part of a post-move assessment. Ask employees whether anything about their new workspace feels uncomfortable, inconvenient, or difficult to use.
Their feedback can help identify problems that may not be obvious during a visual inspection.
Once potential issues have been identified, prioritize practical changes. This may include repositioning desks, adjusting chairs and monitors, relocating frequently used supplies, or changing the placement of shared equipment.
An ergonomics assessment should not necessarily be a one-time process. Continue checking the workspace after employees have had time to settle into the new office and identify additional adjustments.
A successful office relocation involves more than transporting furniture and equipment. Professional commercial movers can help coordinate the loading, transportation, unloading, and placement of workplace materials.
Planning furniture placement before moving day can also make it easier to create functional workspaces once employees return.
