[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s more than reasonable to require them to have their camera on. I’m sure they would hate it much more if you required them to come into the office. Some people are so clueless and don’t know the good thing they have. [/quote]

+1. You could also roll it out in a way that it isn't a harsh mandate.  Show up yourself in a ballcap on a bad hair day.  Sip your coffee instead of checking emails while someone else is briefing.  Make it clear it isn't about perfection, but about being present.

My current team doesn't mandate it, but it's generally the norm. Plenty of times though someone may be on a phone because they're driving between locations or are trying to work even if they feel under the weather and really don't want to be on screen.  Earlier this week when storms were coming through everyone kept their cameras off because internet connections were a bit shaky for some people.  Rather than a mandate make it more of a "hey, unless there's a really unusual scenario let's try to be on screen more".

I've been working from home a long time and do think it makes a difference in building relationships.[/quote]
