It is important to provide the choice where possible… i do not think it is reasonable to insist everyone else should come in when it is not necessary for them to do it so that people who like office environments can feel more comfortable. //
I did enjoy the interaction in offices I worked in, I am retired now.
But my point is nothing to do with my personal choice.
Almost all clerical and admin work has been centred around the office system for hundreds of years.
If ways of doing things are not successful, they don't last, that's now society operates.
Offices have been the centres of clerical work for so long because the system works, and continues to work.
So my proposal that people return is nothing to do with whether or not people like it or not, and should have a choice, its because experience demonstrates it to be the most efficient and effective way of working - which is why it is still in operation.

but andy, the nature and instruments of work have changed over the last couple of hundred years. Typists didnt have a typewriter at home, so they went to the office to do the typing, and the typewriters belonged to the typing pool. Nowadays, there really arent that many people who don't have the facilities to carry out adin wor at home and then send their work electronicallly wherever it needs to go. There is no longer a need for the copy-writer to take their work to get typed up by the typing pool, approved by being physically looked at by the manager, then filed along with hundreds of other sheets of paper
All true Bednobs. My son is a director of a young successful company where working between home and office works extremely well and was in place long before Covid. He tells me he gets more done at home than work where there are continuous interruptions. The company is thriving! Catch up meetings are held at base frequently.
I would have thought it depended on the work and the office. I found office work congenial and it was constantly useful to have colleagues to bounce ideas off. I'd have missed a lot (in fact most) human contact if I'd had to work from home.
As for my employers, they were rather keen on having everyone at HQ so they could keep an eye on them: other employers may indulge in less control freakery.
But those sufficiently motivated may well get more solitary work done better at home.
As for heating costs and the like, that too will depend on the individual.
