There are legitimate reasons to encourage employees to come into the office. People tend to communicate better and trust one another more if they have even a casual face-to-face acquaintance. It’s not even about technical collaboration so much as relationships built up over having lunch of coffee together, and conversations in the hallway.
But one of the main reasons companies are pushing back to the office is they don’t know how to measure productivity. If people are slacking, it should be evident regardless of whether they’re working at the office or at home. And if they are, then deal with it.
If the only way management be reassure themselves that people are doing their jobs is to plant them at a desk under their watchful eye 40 hours a week, then the company has a lot bigger problems than its WFH policy.
