The answer depends on your workforce. Are they all in one location. In the office may have a lot of benefits
If your workforce is in 17 different time zones and 70+ countries then flexible hours and flexible in office/at home policy is much better
If you force me to do 10 hours in the office I’m not sure how willing I’d be to take a meeting at 10pm or 11pm with colleagues in India, Japan, Australia or China
Judge people on outcomes not location they did the work
In the case of exempt employees, too many companies have still not come to terms with the fact that these individuals are paid for the work they do and not for the hours they work. At home or in the office is a function of their job and should not be based some arbitrary requirement. Managers should learn how to do their job!
