Perhaps you haven’t pondered this question. On work-from-home days, do burglars break into their own homes? Or is this time spent doing research, preparing plans, taking online training courses on emerging best practices, virtual networking with others in their field, or similar activities? At some point, however, they need to leave their homes and return to their workplace—your home.

I feel the same way about compliance and ethics. Some tasks can be performed remotely, but the job also requires an element of being in the field. Tasks like reviewing and updating policies, designing training programs, many aspects of monitoring involving data analysis, and some others can likely be performed effectively while working remotely.
