>>I positively encourage our guys to work from home.......
I think it entirely depends on the person. Some people, me for example, prefer the entire office environment even if a commute is involved. I would often go to the office, even at the weekend, for that environment if I had something substantial to do.
I agree with not forcing someone into the office who doesn't need to be there all the time, but everybody needs to be there at least a bit.
Salesmen and BD guys tend to be a different breed, of course, but even they need some interaction with other people from the company.
I entirely agree with your point about measuring people by their results and not by their timekeeping or personal habits; even if that includes sliding down a banister using their balls as brakes.
