As the debate over remote work continues, some business leaders are pushing back against the idea that working from home should be the default for everyone. While preferences often vary by generation, supporters of office-based work argue that collaboration, culture and human connection cannot be fully replicated from a home workspace.
Advocates of in-office work say the issue is not about resisting change, but about recognising the value of shared experiences. Daily interactions, informal conversations, meetings and exposure to colleagues from different cultures play a key role in how people learn, innovate and grow at work. These moments, they argue, are difficult to recreate through screens alone.
The argument for context is gaining momentum as more organisations reconsider fully remote models. Not all roles can be performed remotely, and critics point out that society already accepts this reality. Essential professions such as pilots, surgeons, chefs and police officers rely on physical presence to function effectively. For many, this highlights why a single approach to work does not suit every role or industry.
