Relocation can be a complicated process for even one person. There are so many elements one must take into consideration, and they all need to be juggled. And unless there’s a bit of a masochistic streak in you, chances are none of the aforementioned tasks are actually things you want to do. Spend time with your family, shift your focus to your new job/career, start to learn about the new area you’ll be living in—these are the ways you’d rather spend your moving-related time, not making sure all the curtains are packed in the same box. Now take all of that complication and multiply that by 100. This is what happens when part of an organization needs to relocate. Adequately and appropriately handling all the issues associated with relocating an office is one of human resource officers’ more difficult (and thankless) tasks. In addition to handling her typical duties as an HR officer, one in charge of a relocation also needs to make sure all the appropriate measures are taken to ensure a smooth transition from the original location to the new one. And don’t forget: She may have to move herself as well. Not easy. Now take that 100-person …

Moving can be a really stressful, harried time in your life. Even if the move is for entirely positive reasons—you got a promotion and are relocating to corporate headquarters, say, or you and your new spouse are moving into the suburbs to raise a family—it’s still a complicated, unwieldy process rife with difficulties, trials, and tribulations. That’s why we’ve prepared a series of simple moving tips designed to frame the process. This is hardly comprehensive—maybe we’ll tackle that down the road—but will serve you well as maxims for your move. Start by organizing everything. This includes obvious things, like what you’ll be packing up and taking with you to your new home, but should extend beyond that. Organize your possessions into things you want and things you don’t and sell or donate the latter. Moving can provide a useful pretext to slim down on unnecessary things you might not have the heart to get rid of otherwise. Get obsessive about making lists. This goes along with the organization advice. Lists—of what is in which box, of what tasks need to be done when, and the like—can prove incredibly useful. (For further moving advice, which includes useful links on this matter, …

If you’re planning on making a move, even if it’s (theoretically) next door, writing up a moving checklist is an absolute must. Done right, such a list will help you organize your tasks in a handy, one-glance format, so you can be sure you won’t be forgetting anything. Going along with that, it’s always easy to add additional items to the list as you think of them or as they become important. This list is quite useful, and will help virtually anyone in virtually any moving situation. Nevertheless, there are ways to tailor it to your specific needs. Say you’re moving from the happening Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago and you’ve got your heart set on one of those Austin apartments in the beautiful Hyde Park area, which gives you a little more room to stretch out, since it’s somewhat less dense than a central neighborhood in a truly large world city. Since you’ll be having more space, you might want to add elements to this list, such as “buy furniture.” If you were making the opposite move, where you’ll be downsizing your current living situation, you might want to add list items more like “visit donation center” to unload …
