Remember the old days (aka pre-2020) when we were able to have meetings with real humans face-to-face?

Ask any presenter if they want their sound and voice quality to be awesome, and they’ll say yes.

At LogMeIn, we firmly believe that remote work and flexible working locations are here to stay. We know (from personal experience) that employees who are given the option to work from home at least part time tend to be happier and more productive. So ..read more

After all, for the last few weeks you’ve been enjoying time with family, indulging in holiday treats, and investing your time in holiday movie marathons. And while going back to the office can be hard, it’s even harder going back to working full-time in an office that’s possibly feet from your kitchen or bedroom. The bottom line?
