To ask how often you’d go to the office if it wasn’t a requirement?

I went in to the office yesterday - first visit since August last year!

3 days is the sweet spot for me as it’s good fit motivation and team relationships. Though I am senior leader nowadays. Pre covid I did fulltime in an office including through years that my kids were younger and I’d not like to go back to that.

Every day, can't stand working from home

Good for you. I feel sorry for those in the civil service. It just seems like a box ticking exercise to keep the DM and Telegraph readership happy.

I'd go in when there was a reason to do so - face to face meeting or training; or a piece of work that I'd rather do in the office, or if for some reason there was disruption at home or a heatwave (we have aircon at work). It would probably average to 1.5 days a week over the whole year.

Once a month if at all. It feels so pointless because I spend money on petrol and waste time on travel when I can do the work at home. In fact I get a lot more done at home because I’m not chatting to colleagues so much when I’m at home and can focus while working in a nice quiet office in my house.

It isn't. I rock up 2-3 times a week.

Also re not being able to score people - lol. We do performance reviews twice a year (used to be 3 times). We use slack extensively, as well as Google Meet. I manage a wider team of 20 people. Advertising agency; we work with some of the biggest brands (UK and worldwide). It is perfectly possible to a) do a decent job remotely, consistently; b) manage people remotely and c) figure out who is our isn't pulling their weight or underperforming.

Maybe once every month or two. I work remotely completely (and our whole business of 80+ people is fully remote), since before covid. I absolutely loathe commuting after spending 10yrs of my life 3hrs+ on a daily commute (London); we moved up North and bought a house with 2 offices (well, DH uses what's officially the dining room and I use the smallest bedroom).
If they'd somehow ask me to go into the (non-existing) office twice a week I'd quit on the spot.

I'd go in for specific reasons, mainly 1 to 1 chats with my manager, certain other things. One day a week would be enough to do that.

I think we'll see people in a bit more often where i work in CS when the people who refuse to come in more than once a month realise they've just got a met score for end of year. Seems to be a common trend across a lot of managers, their staff still do an ok job from home and meet their objectives but no evidence of exceeding any, and evidence against the behaviours objective is low as they can't score them as they never see them

Civil servant, currently on 40% office attendance, that’s being upped to 60% from May.
if I could choose, I’d WFH 100%, I can do my job just as well at home as I can in the office, so I’ve I’ve just sat a successful interview for new a permanent WFH position, sad to leave my correct role, but home working suits my family life much more.

I go in once every couple of weeks, usually for on site meetings and training but if nothing like that is happening I'll go in for a change of scenery and to see colleagues in person. I only live 20 mins drive away though so it's not too expensive, also sometimes I go in and leave in time to do school pick up and then log in at home for the rest of the day. I have no issue with people who never go in unless absolutely necessary, if I lived further away I would probably go in less often.
I don't really see the point of going in every day if I'm just going to be sitting at a desk on teams calls especially when the desk is less comfortable than the one I have at home

Never.
Perhaps once a fortnight as I think I would stop getting dressed otherwise, but I do nothing in the office that I can't do at home in significantly more comfort and fewer annoyances.

We require everyone to turn up once every 2 months for an all staff meeting. (Travel expenses paid)

Otherwise it's a choice and out of 50 staff about 10 regularly use the office (1 or 2 days per week)

I personally go in a few days a month.

I go in everyday, we have children who are at home on my working days, so it would be unfair to expect my husband to keep them quiet when I’m working. We have to go in for 75% of hours on a weekly average and everyone has to work a full day on site on Wednesdays. New starters are 100% office based for the first eight weeks/40 days

We're encouraged (but not yet required) to go in one day a week. In reality, I go in about once a fortnight.

Never

1 or 2 days depending on what I have going on.

4 days a week. I'm required to do 3, and I do 4 by choice. Absolutely hate WFH - bad for my step count and general wellbeing, I'm sociable so like to see people during the day, like to read/decompress on my commute rather than being thrown straight from work to childcare. And in terms of work, all the reasons other people have given - good for raising profile/making contacts, collaboration and incidental conversations etc.

We don't have an office. If I got one, then I think our trustees would expect us to use it a lot. Commute, child and dog care costs aside, I'd love a day or 2 a week, but you pay rent for 7, so we'll stay remote.

If I had the choice I'd be in once a month for the team meeting.

Never. It irks me somewhat considering my job can 100% be done from home.

We have to go in once a month and then whenever there is something that required us to be there. I think the max for me would be twice a week. Current once a month feels about right.

When we moved over 2 years ago, I switched jobs to a new company when WFH was still very much "on trend". Even though I've worked in tech area for many many years I expected there would be a mandated return to the office for at least a few days per week. And yes, that has indeed happened.

I'd prefer to go to the office once or twice a week, instead it is 3 or 4 days per week. Our office is great, free food and all that but my commute is long and busy. On the other hand I enjoy my job (most of the time) and am well paid. I also expected this to happen so was not depending on WFH scenario to continue.
