Just treat adults as adults, show a little bit of trust.

I don't like strict schedules, where you have to just sit through the required number of hours, or show up at some specific time for no reason (i.e. it does not affect other people). Don't force people to sit in a crammed open space office, all day every day, no matter the weather and other factors, because 'collaboration' or whatever. Commuting to the office when it is -20C definitely sucks. If someone wants to setup their ideal working environment at home - perfect, win win. Most of the time it doesn't even cost much.

Sure, making it work requires some effort from both parties. But it's too often ruled out for no reason (or some BS reason).

I made this switch and that's one of the best things that happened to my quality of life.
