All very laudable but it won't fly.
I read on the Beeb a bit back that employers are starting to offer lower starting salaries to wfh employees.
I would ideally expect to be given the tools for the job and a contribution to (e.g.) internet costs but that won't always fly either. (Though it did suit me to not have a laptop and charger using up my desk space.) The company wanted us to use our own mobiles - again I preferred carrying one not two but I have one which can have two SIMS.
There is a already a modest tax allowance (£6ish a week) for working from home but I can't imagine any employer will make a substantial contribution to any costs other than providing essential equipment. Of course that may be different in a more traditional organisation where people expect allowances for this that and the other but I'd say it's pretty rare these days.
In the current situation many people would accept that it's not unreasonable to "swap" the convenience and lower cost etc of wfh for a small cost. Either that or find another job. Times aren't what they once were, and even employment tribunals tend to favour the employers more than they ever used to.
