When home is also the workplace
Plan for the desk and office equipment
A home office may contain a heavy desk, several screens, files and a chair that each need different preparation. List the larger pieces and show desks that may need to be taken apart. Keep confidential records and essential devices with you.
Back up important files before moving and photograph cable connections. Disconnect equipment unless another arrangement has been agreed. Cables, stands and accessories should remain identifiable rather than being mixed into the nearest open carton.
Ask about packing help for equipment and fragile items. Packing and transportation do not automatically include reconnecting computers or setting up your home network, so plan that part of your return to work separately.
