What if remote work didn’t mean working from home?

Then do it during work hours, and everyone wins.

Seriously this is the best solution. Instead of after work, do a (virtual or not) HH at 3 on Friday. People don’t have to donate free time and will appreciate it much more.

I'd still bet that many people would rather just go home early on a Friday. I know I would.

But at least HH on time allocated from work does not demand more time from the participants, which is a win.

My previous company had done mid-week outings (definitely not Fridays, people want to go home), where everyone in the team kicks off at 3PM, go see a movie together (the team splitting up based on what movie they wanted to see), then have a nice dinner, with games and prizes at the end at around 7PM. I won a Nintendo Switch one time. It wasn't a bad way to spend an afternoon.
