Admin/Finance/Accounting/HR where information needs to flow quickly and answers need to be had right away will always work better in person.

I think that actually describes IT to a large extent. There are of course software developers and other branches where you just want to be left the hell alone and get your work done. When I started my current job, it was ****ing great to be relatively an unknown n00b, being able to be heads-down on something for hours with minimal interruption.

The other side of it though, critical issues and support.... I've never found that being in the office matters all that much these days. I've done major go lives and fixing major issues from the office and in my pajamas at 2am, and whether everyone is face-to-face in the same conference room, in their own office, or on a Teams call.... it's all about the same (except the free food for onsite go lives).

Of the 3 you mentioned, I would think HR works significantly better in person... but then again, I completed all of my interviews virtually for my current job (and everyone involved was also working from home) and it was fine.
