INFO TO KNOW:

  1. Identify the spaces as specifically as possible (i.e., Room A but not Room B) – The best way to do this is with floor plans of each space in question. (with furniture outline ideally but we understand that this is ever-changing, and we acknowledge that we may receive revised versions as they come)
  2. Identify the IT equipment [Desktops, Laptops, Docks, Monitors, Keyboard/Mouse, TVs, Printers, Phones]. What will move? What will stay? – The best way to do this is by having a walk-through of the current location between an informed representative from that department and an IT Team member.
  3. Identify the exact locations/placement (office room #/desk space) of IT equipment. Where is the equipment currently at, and the exact temporary/permanent location where it should be set up next? – The Best way to do this is with a walk-through of both current and future spaces between an informed representative from that department and an IT Team member. *If access to future space is not feasible, we will use the floor plans given for reference.
  4. Identify what can be moved and when – The best way to do this is during a walk-through. We are aware that some stuff may need to be moved in phases, but it’s better that we know ahead of time.

Our goal is to provide the best onboarding experience for your New Employee (Baseline General Funded Positions, Temporary Positions, Grant-Funded Positions, Student Assistants). It’s in everyone’s best interest to ensure the space and the equipment are ready for your New Employee on their first day. We treat all information with confidentiality and encourage you to share as many details as possible about space and/or equipment as they become available to you so we may plan accordingly. (I.e., domino office moves, internal candidates, etc.) ​
