In today's highly digitalized workplace environment, remote work has evolved from a temporary arrangement into a long-term norm. However, this shift has given rise to an intriguing paradox: while employees generally report higher life satisfaction, many organizations have seen declines in innovation output and team cohesion. In light of this phenomenon, should "returning to the office" be enforced as a mandatory policy to safeguard an organization's long-term competitiveness? Please articulate your stance and support your argument with specific examples from particular professions or industries.
