For many, the daily commute is simply a fact of their job, but if a company decides to relocate their business, commuting may become more complicated or even unfeasible. This can have a dramatic impact on your staff.  

When you move office, it is important to consider how a change in your location will alter the routes your staff take to work. When you first plan to move office, undoubtedly your location in relation to local transport, rail and road networks will be an important factor. Communication is the key to ironing out any issues and it is important to approach the issue of commuting as soon as an office move becomes imminent. As a result, it is vital to consult key members in your team and your employees at large to ensure that the upheaval won’t be too detrimental on their ability to reach their workplace.

If you are in any doubt about how this will affect your staff, contact a local property solicitor through Help Moving Office and they will help you to discuss any mobility clauses or obligations within your issued contracts.
