I think it's a good move. I have in other threads postulated that the computer, and more to the point, its communication capabilities and convenience, have de-personalized business. Forcing real human interaction back into the mix will, I believe, lead to increases in production. Human are by nature social creatures and need interaction. It's a more nautural way to communicate and I think it's more efficient, as most of us can ask a question, and get a verbal response faster that you can type it out, send it, read it, type the response, send it, and read it. Asked and answered face to face in considerably less time.
I see the potential for other benefits as well. Increase in morale because it's a more natural environment. You go into someone else's office and you see the picture of the husband or wife and the kids, and you realize they are a real person, with a real life, just like you (ok most of you). You see a paperweight on the desk, and you ask, "Are you a golfer?", Yes, well let's get together and tee it up some day. You see the diploma on the wall came from you biggest rivalry and when the next sports season comes around, you become best friends rooting against each other. And I'm sure we all have similar experiences that we can share - and none of which would happen without face to face interaction.
Good Luck
