Ask HN: How to solve remote engineers appearing lazy to other departments?

A recurring issue I've seen throughout my career is engineers wanting to have more remote flexibility. Often the upper technical leadership is in favor of it but concerns throughout the company come up that other departments will think that product/development is lazy and never does anything if they often work remotely. These concerns eventually kill the initiative to allow more remote work and sometimes any remote work at all.

How can these concerns be resolved to allow certain teams to work remotely without upsetting other departments?
