I agree that employees should be allowed to work from home whenever they want. People are more productive when they can choose the environment that works best for them.
Working from home also saves time and money. Without a long commute, employees have more energy for their actual work and more time for their families. Many studies show that flexible workers report higher job satisfaction and lower stress.
Companies that trust their employees to manage their own schedule usually keep their best workers longer. Forcing everyone into an office every day treats all jobs the same, even though not every job needs to be done in person.

I understand that concern, but teamwork does not have to suffer just because people work from home. Video calls, shared documents, and messaging apps let teams stay connected throughout the day.
Many companies solve this by asking employees to come in on a few shared days each week for meetings and planning, while leaving the rest of the week flexible. This keeps in person collaboration without forcing a full return to the office.
Teamwork depends more on how well a team communicates than on whether everyone sits in the same room. A team that plans its communication well can work together just as effectively from home.
