Because we know that when you’re working from home you’re just playing TikTok and eating cheese puffs for half the day. When you’re in the office the manager can help you stay focused and get more work done. Plus, you don’t have the same kind of camaraderie and team spirit over a zoom call. I used to go into the office at my business several times a month just to tell my employees how much I appreciate them with a hearty pat on the back. Now that they aren’t there, how can I even do that? Send a back-patting emoji to them on zoom?

You can tell your employees you appreciate them with words, and show them with actions. You don't need to touch someone to communicate you appreciate them, and frankly it's best not to go around touching people in the workplace.

That’s too impersonal. Nothing can truly replace a good slap on the back to let my employees know that I appreciate them.

How about a raise?
