I've been remote for over seven years now. I can't think of anything that would get me back into the office - why would I, when working remotely works so much better for me?
If I were these employers, I'd want to step back and figure out why it's so important to have people back in the office. Assuming they can find good reasons, work from those. For example, if it's about some employees actually preferring to work from the office, what kind of hybrid solution can you set up to make them more successful? How can you connect those who are remote and those who are on location? And so on.
I keep hearing "collaboration". I don't believe it as we were a worldwide company, so someone was already remote.
My only guess is that management is lonely.
