Settling into a new office after a corporate relocation can be daunting. Whether you’re relocating from or to Boise, a move can upset your daily work routine and make life that much more complicated. The first week or so is a crucial time of getting to know your new space, introducing yourself to co-workers, and settling in. Here are our tips for making the transition smoother.

1. Be Friendly

It’s a good policy for every area in life, and particularly helpful when you’re learning the ropes in a new office space: be friendly. It can be overwhelming to meet so many new people and remember countless names, but making a friend or two in those first few weeks will help you out. Write down names as you meet people and make it a point to invite co-workers out for after-work happy hours or lunch. Getting to know your coworkers can help reduce the stress of being in new surroundings.

2. Make Your Space Your Own

It’ll make you feel calmer and more collected to own your office space from the get-go. Move in a few personal items like pictures of your family and decor, and settle into your desk or office by making it your own. Plants can be great stress-relievers, too, so grab one if you have the right lighting.

3. Ask for Help

You’ll need a lot of direction and help those first few days and weeks with everything from working the office printer to finding the restrooms. Don’t be shy about asking for assistance; it’ll build rapport with your co-workers, get you acquainted with your surroundings, and set you up for healthy relationships in your new workspace.
