Office employees have been reminded to prepare to work from home ahead of the Olympic Games this summer.

Logitech has noted that there are a number of things that people can do to make their homeworking spaces more productive. For example, decorating the working space in a manner that is inspirational to you will help, as will ensuring that the space is well lit, if possible from a natural source.

There is also the matter of technology, which can make life significantly easier for homeworkers if they choose carefully. Logitech recommends using wireless office equipment to allow for a clear desk, this will also allow you more flexibility when it comes to positioning things.

While investing in high-end equipment is optional, many home workers will find that it is essential to install a program like Skype to conduct meetings with co-workers and clients. Buying a good quality webcam should make it even easier to stay in touch while you're out of the office.

Marcus Harvey, general manager for Logitech, said that choosing the right accessories and equipment can help people to be “just as productive as if you were working in the office – without the commuting stress”.
