The way to get workers back is to increase pay and reduce working hours.
First, we’ve all gotten used to the extra time from the lack of commute. I can’t imagine going back to a commute.
Secondly, the quality of life and the cost savings from working from home are tremendous. I don’t buy coffee, I just drink the coke coffee in the pot. I don’t buy lunch, I eat leftovers or make a quick sandwich. And I am so much more comfortable working from home instead of sitting in an office where I don’t control the aircon surrounded by distractions.
If you want me in office double my pay and reduce me to 30 hours a week.
