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

Well not at all if I could help it, I've wrangled quite a number of international jollies since I started this job in October and I've got a few more planned. Mind you I'm going to have hurry up a bit to squeeze them all in before my 'go' is up later this year.

In the meantime I will pop in to the office (luckily it's just next door) when needs be - there are those free biccies, I've mentioned before, so it's not a total waste of time.

We have to go in once a week and I like this. I also go in one other day to focus on work, print scan etc. I am in town at lunch so can get jobs done.

I would choose to go in once or twice a week to break up the monotony. I work 5 days.

Work is 30 min drive but parking is dear. Also it is harder to make collection of dcs, cooking dinner etc. I would still go in once a week even if the office was empty for a change of scene.

Never unless a face to face meeting booked if it’s not required.

We have to go in on Wednesdays, but I currently go in at least one other day, sometimes 2 (I only work 4 days). The office is nice and quiet on other days and I find it easier to focus. I don't live that far from our office though, so it's not a major pain for me.

I've been working from home for over 10 years - suits me well. I go to the office twice a year for the summer party and Christmas party 🥳 we do have a virtual check in once a quarter. Speak to people within the company via zoom/google chat but I have total flexibility and that suit me.

2 or 3 days a week which is what i do now. Most of the team are in on various days so theres always one person to chat to. But i also go in on some fridays when no one else does as i like the office and i don't go in just to see people.

5 days if it wasn't so far away. As it is I do 3 in the office with a 3-hour commute. I really dislike working from home too much, the balance feels off to me.

I go in twice a week now but I'd only go in 1 if I could.

Twice is too often and on one of the days the office is dead and too quiet. I don't like working like that.

At home I listen to music or podcasts and talk to the pets.

I work 3 days a week and go in two days a week. I'd stick to this. Works well.

Does that not depend on how its tracked, over 2 weeks or 4 weeks, or 48 weeks would make more sense. Then you could alternate 2 days/3 days.

I'm about to leave a job with 3 days per week in the office for one that allows me to WFH full time. Cannot wait.

Depends how easy it is to get to the office.

My current office is 8 miles away but is a 3 hour minimum round trip on public transport because the transport in my area is shit. As a result, I go in on average twice a month.

If the office was reasonably accessible (e.g a 20-30 min commute) then I would probably go in for the mornings 4 times a week. I enjoy a change of scenery.

I go in once a month. I benefit from wfh in many ways but I do find it lonely and would go in 2x per week if it was an option.

We can go in as much as we like but have to aim for a minimum of 60% of our time in the office. It isn't strictly enforced but I know serial non office attendance is noted.

I do at least 3 days a week in the office and would do so even if it wasn't required as I find time in the office valuable for my health and career.

Management are pushing for 3 days together and 2 days wherever per week. They have stated they have data that shows people who work from the office more often have a higher score in employee satisfaction returns. Although, they have shied away from sharing how they are correlating this data!
The company has said it will report annonomously to team managers the percentage of time employees spend in the office.

I work on a distributed team across the UK, Europe and India. Nearest colleague is couple of hundred miles away... and nearest office is 1.5 hours commute (with no colleagues based there). My manager is very sensible about the practicalities of the impact on real work and personal wellbeing if we all start to comply.

I agree 100% I could easily do my job if I wfh every day but having 2-3 days a week in the office is hugely valuable for all the reasons you state. Tje collaboration and the incidentals are a massive pro. Just yesterday I was asked to go to a meeting with the CEO, huge organisation, which would never have happened if I didn’t go into the office as it wouldn’t have come up in conversation. That’s great for my profile, it helped me understand some of the strategic priories better and I’ll do a better job. Nobody would have invited me to that meeting if I was at home as I’d only discuss my tiny piece in the organisation.

I go in two or three times a week. Currently only working four days a week, so that's one WFH day. The nature of my job means that I often have to look at things on site, take pictures, do virtual modelling of spaces etc. I also seem to end up having useful conversations in the office, can ask advice etc.
Also my home office is the dining room table with a laptop, no room for a second screen really! I prefer being in the office.

Once a month.

Never. We've recently been mandated to go in 60% of our working week. I hate it. Management have stated 60% will allow "greater collaboration with colleagues ". That's not been my experience so far.

Such hardship.

If not required to do so I don't go in. I go in as little as possible. There is nowhere to park and I hate commuting and office politics

Just realised I didn't answer the question! Given the choice I would go in once a week, ideally my team would all be in on the same day (7 of us).

At least 50 % if I could - we are back to one day WFH but only if there is nobody sick / on annual leave /recently left so in practice not since January...

Today is a lovely day and I could have got loads of washing done and hung out!

I am supposed to do 2 days in the office, but i rarely go in at all. Most of the people I speak to on a daily basis are in other countries, so I don't really see the benefit. My boss is aware. He's the same.

Our WFH policy is whenever you want unless there is a face to face meeting or something else that requires attendance. I'm still quite new so I normally do 4 days a week (did 5 days for the first 6 weeks) but once I'm up to speed (probably by June) I'll probably do 3 days a week in the office just to cut down a bit on fuel.

I do work at home any day when there won't be anyone else from my team in as there's no point being there otherwise.
