Billionaire and Apprentice star, made the comment during a BBC interview as part of the ongoing debate about post-pandemic work patterns.
His remarks come as many other businesses are still embracing a flexible work arrangement, including hybrid and remote work.
Amazon, Boots and JP Morgan are also calling for the employees to return to the office.
In his statement to the BBC, Lord Sugar conceded that software developers who might work irregular hours as well as disabled workers could be exempt.
Lord Sugar insisted that all other staff should return to the office, stating that workplace interaction is extremely important.
Lord Sugar told the BBC, “I’m a great advocate of getting them back to work, because the only way an apprentice is going to learn, is from his colleagues.
‘It’s small things, like interaction with your more mature colleagues, that will tell you how to do this, how to do that. That is lacking in this work-from-home, zoom culture.’
But his main remark was that a lot of the younger generation
‘just want to sit at home’.
Lord Sugar statement comes in the latest wave of business owners speaking out about working patterns.
Lord Stuart Rose, the former boss of Marks and Spencer and Asda, said earlier this month that remote working was “not proper work”.
BrewDog co-founder James Watt also weighed in to the ongoing discourse stating that the UK is one of the “least work-oriented countries.”
