At overall software-industry level? Yes.

At individual company level? It is much better to have uniform policies for the entire org. Either be completely remote, or completely in-office, or if you want hybrid then mandate the days when everyone must be in office.

Why? There are ample examples than not where this is not applied. Significantly compensation


Because organizations rely on internal communication, and remote/on-site/hybrid each require very different processes to manage work and internal communications.

If all your organization processes are set up to work well for on-site, then the effectiveness of the remote people in your organization will hurt; if all your organization processes are set up for remote interactions, then the overheads of that don't make sense for the on-site people sitting next to each other; and if some units are fully on-site and some are fully remote, each with different style of working, then you might as well have two separate organizations with vendor/contractor relationship, that would be more efficient as their collaboration anyway have to be managed that way.


"uniform policies regarding WFH/RTO ". FTFY. I thought that was obvious from the context but oh well..


Still, why?
