I believe business need to adopt a hybrid approach. There are just aspects of human interaction you can't do with teams. I'd you job has your working on a team meeting in person once or twice a week makes a difference.
What about no WFH, Hybrid or back to office and just use common sense.
Stop treating peoplw like they can't choose whats best for them.
I go into the office... When I need to. It's a pretty radical idea.
Could be 0 days a week? Could be 5. It depends what I'm doing and who I'm working with.
Sadly hybrid often means (2-3) days in the office. Why? Why must we bucket things? It's stupid.
Obviously it should be a case by case basis. But a lot of these jobs pushing full return to office some actually benefit from that and a more hybrid structure would benefit them.
The problem is that most people literally cannot choose what's best for them.
This is a repetitive theme in society with problems like obesity and poor diet choices.
It's great that you are self-driven and able to make the best choice when it's not the easy choice, but most people just will not choose to go into the office when they aren't forced to. And the quality and pace of work will suffer for it.
Or retrieving a document from a network printer.
It depends on the gig. I'm a software engineer, I'm at my happiest and most productive when I have a user story and no interruptions. I'm also a senior dev and recently passed my 10,000 hours, I don't really benefit too much from close interaction with other devs on my team and their code will teach me anything they have to teach me. Thinking back to when I was fresh out of college, however, I benefited greatly from having a mentor who was close at hand for both coding and cultural learning.
