I would want to accommodate all kinds of people and situations.
- Off-work activities should be optional - technically and practically (no or little social pressure)
- On-work activities should be optional, possibly with a little push depending on goals and hoped for gains, and be introduced with context of what they are useful for or intended for
Due to personality and consequential social anxiety, I’m more sensitive than most people. If there’s open communication and accommodation to all parties, and a shared goal, it should be possible to find a good way.
Activities may be for team-building, to visit places for reference, or other activities that may have more or less direct usefulness for projects.
If it’s an on-work-hour activity, I don’t think there’s a need for alternative compensation. Either you join or do your normal work.
Off-hour work has a more informal tone and should have more distance from concrete projects.
I’m curious what makes you say so? Physical distance? Setting change? Distance to work, physically and mentally?
