WFO stands for Work from office, an email and office abbreviation.

Indicates working on-site at the employer's office rather than remotely. The term appears mainly in hybrid-work schedules and team calendars.

Example: The team will be WFO on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting next month.

Usage notes

It arose as the counterpart to WFH once remote work became the default for many offices in 2020. Hybrid policies often specify a number of WFO days per week. In Britain and North America, people more often say "in the office," and RTO describes a return-to-office mandate.
