Description
Over the past several years the world has experienced a shift to a new hybrid work environment. Managing both in-person and remote staff presents new challenges for design studio leaders, especially when onboarding new hires and keeping them engaged. Learn how to best onboard, train, and mentor new employees in a way that effectively communicates studio culture and builds trust, ultimately cultivating strong and effective design teams in the hybrid environment. We will focus on characteristics of the emerging workforce, how to frame and implement the mentor/mentee relationship, and how to strategize skill development, both soft skills and technical skills specific to your firm.
