I agree with the comment on newbies.

My interns (for some reason) are eligible to work from home, which they do regularly. But without in person interaction they do almost nothing and have no motivation because they don't feel like they are part of something.

With just two days of in person collaboration they have achieved a week's worth of progress, not because they are being watched but because they feel like they have direction and the work has value.

For people new to thev work and the company tools and processes its hard to get that feeling working remotely.
