The other side
Work relationships form through repeated low-stakes contact, and a normal week supplies almost none of it outside a person's own team. Scheduling is the only mechanism. Make attendance optional and the people who already talk show up, while the quiet new hire stays at her desk and stays unknown. Two awkward hours buy months of easier asking for help.
