I know a lot of people who would rather work remote - but are willing to go into the office just to spend time around other people. They would be 100% on board with this. I personally prefer an office (if it's close) for the distinction between work and home, but I'm also fine working from home. That said, a biannual reason to spend time with coworkers sounds great. And, if teambuilding is like a second-tier vacation where I don't have to pay for stuff or use vacation time, that's even better. I'm not against going into the office because I hate being outside my home. I just hate commuting.
