A healthy office culture and team members to collaborate with. I go to the office because interacting with my coworkers in person is enjoyable and I learn new things faster through those interactions. It helps that we also have free coffee and snacks and the commute is less than 10 minutes but I primarily go in because of the people I work with.

Already am back in the office 3 days a week. One is mandatory.
Never left. Doing NOC, and occasionally have to kick some iron, so my team has to stay in the office.
Money. Lots of it. As in double.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I work as an IT guy for a small business (6 people total) and I honestly prefer working in the office:
- it's easier to focus, I'm much more effective than when doing work at home, despite 95% of my work being possible to be done remotely
- I like most of the 5 people I work with
- I prefer separating life and work: I go to the office, do the work, go home and don't think about it until the next time I'm over there. I wouldn't like to associate my apartment with the mundane tasks I sometimes have to do for work
Also the commute isn't bad because I live in a well-connected district in a European capital. It's a 12 minute door-to-door bus ride for me, I don't even bother driving.
They would need to build an office within a ten minute walk from my home.
Here in Brisbane Australia the lazy chuts want to work from home WHOSE GOING TO PAY FOR THESE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN THE CBD?
THE ROWKERS SHOULD COME BACK EVERY DAY
Yeah, it seems short sighed to put the business at risk for real estate (losing talent). Sell the buildings and move on (sunk costs and all that.)
Wait you guys are allowed to work remote full time?
A much better setup than my home one. A private office with sound dampening. Dual 4K+ monitors. A large wall mounted TV for casting training videos or collaborating. A coffee and desert cart.
