A Boss Ordered All Workers Back to the Office a Year Ago. He Has No Regrets.

Last summer, a Michigan company decided all employees needed to return to their desks five days a week. A year later, the executive who made that call said he has no regrets.

“Not one second did I second-guess this decision. Not for one instance,” said Mat Ishbia, CEO of mortgage lender UWM Holdings Corp. The company employs more than 7,000 people in Pontiac, Mich., a suburb of Detroit. “Without question, it’s been worth it.”
