these written and electronic communications in our clients’ “voice” - using their brand color palette and fonts to create consistent messaging throughout the move.

SERVICES INCLUDE: • Updates and progress on the overall project • How the spaces will work for employees experiencing consolidation or reconfiguration • Information on conference rooms, mail services, facilities’ support • Floor plans and stacking plans with key locations like lavatories, copy stations & pantries

Although much of the information that employees need to know might seem straightforward or similar to existing protocols, reiteration is often useful in times of change and confusion.

We’re here to help your team ease into their new surroundings by anticipating questions and concerns before they arise.

Additional welcoming activities we’ve coordinated for our clients include a welcome breakfast for each phase or a gift or token of appreciation.
