Top tips for reducing stress during an office relocation
Whether it’s keeping calm and carrying on, having a stiff upper lip or putting faith in the restorative powers of tea, us Brits have developed a host of methods for coping with stress, writes Nigel Dews of Harrow Green.
Small doses of stress can be helpful when it comes to keeping us motivated, and it is often unavoidable. Indeed, we are all likely to experience some level of stress in our everyday lives. Earlier this year, Bupa UK revealed the life milestones that cause the most stress including; the birth of a child, going through a romantic break-up, being made redundant and moving house.
And much like a house move, an office relocation can cause a great deal of stress. Aside from drinking lots of tea, there are a number of steps (nine, in fact) that can be taken to make your office move smoother for all involved.
