The "work in the office" mandate is an HR driven mandate applied to individuals. Honeywell (at least Aerospace) leadership however prefers people working on projects together not be co-located. The glaring example is project management staff is in the US, while product engineering, development and manufacturing is spread across the globe.
Perhaps if Honeywell applied this "work at home" idea in a broader sense, and had everyone involved in a product life-cycle working in the same location, they could deliver a better product than their competitors, shorten development cycles and probably save some money.
