Something I read about in "Remote: Office not required" is a key issue and that is about having the means to measure productivity, even if very roughly or in comparison with colleagues in the same job. Many companies don't have that so they are understandably worried about people slacking at home. Being in the office doesn't force you to work but with less distractions and ability to watch TV etc, I think you are more likely to do more work in an office than you would do at home if you are not engaged in your job. Now if you do have something like articles per week for a copy writer or tasks per week by a Dev, you can at least call out the people whose numbers are much lower than others and find out what is going on, maybe they are struggling or they always get given the hard stuff or they are being put in too many meetings. I think Employees should expect their Managers to make them accountable for their output.
