I work four days a week from home and one day in the office as a “team day.” Seems to work for us as software developers. Team day is not mandatory but everyone makes an effort to rock up and socialise a bit.
My wife is an optometrist and will continue to work from her practice 5 days a week.
The crucial difference between your policy and a total WfH policy is the ability to recruit anyone from a ~50-mile radius versus anyone from the Australian continent. The quality of applicants you get from a total WfH policy will dwarf whatever benefits you get from one in-person day.
Absolutely. I'm based in Australia and that's exactly what the fully remote company I work for does, they fly the team over every few months... minus the tropical island.
