The world has regained its footing, but employers now face the challenge of determining the optimal balance between remote and in-person work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent research shows that workers spend more time in mentoring activities when they come into the office, highlighting the importance of in-person work for employee development. While remote work offers flexibility and autonomy, it can lead to challenges in fostering meaningful mentor-mentee relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article covers how mentorship opportunities are impacted by work arrangements, the benefits of in-person work environments, and strategies to encourage mentoring in WFH settings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid rgb(0 0 0 \/ 0.1); padding: 25px 25px 10px; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 4px 6px -1px rgb(0 0 0 \/ 0.1), 0 2px 4px -2px rgb(0 0 0 \/ 0.1);\">\n<h3 id=\"h-pressed-for-time-here-s-a-quick-summary\" class=\"wp-block-heading nitoc\">Pressed for time?

However, the recent shift to work-from-home (WFH) arrangements has sparked apprehension about mentoring in a remote setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To address these concerns, a study by <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/d7be18c32c7f\/wfh-research-updates-april-2023?e=244c569db6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WFH Research<\/a> examined the impact of in-person versus remote work on mentoring activities. Respondents reported that personal interactions, such as collaboration and socializing with colleagues, are the main advantages of working in-office while saving on commuting time and costs are the top benefits of remote work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business leaders recognize the difficulty of building human capital in a fully remote environment, but how much more development occurs in an in-person setting? <strong>The study found that in-person work increases mentoring activities by 35% to 40%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Time-Spent-Getting-Mentored.png?resize=640%2C466&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22738\" style=\"width:614px;height:447px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Time-Spent-Getting-Mentored.png?resize=1024%2C745&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Time-Spent-Getting-Mentored.png?resize=300%2C218&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Time-Spent-Getting-Mentored.png?resize=768%2C559&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Time-Spent-Getting-Mentored.png?w=1100&amp;ssl=1 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the benefit of in-person work for mentoring purposes, the preferences of employees regarding work arrangements can differ based on personal circumstances and tradition. For example, younger workers tend to prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/4-flexible-work-arrangement-trends-for-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flexible work arrangements<\/a> due to their living situations. For instance, employees in their 20s may share small apartments with roommates; employees in their 30s may have children at home. These factors could push them away from fully remote or in-person work and towards hybrid work. Older employees often prefer in-person work due to conventional standards rather than social interactions and mentoring opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Work-Arrangements-By-Age.png?resize=640%2C466&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22739\" style=\"width:619px;height:450px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Work-Arrangements-By-Age.png?resize=1024%2C745&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Work-Arrangements-By-Age.png?resize=300%2C218&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Work-Arrangements-By-Age.png?resize=768%2C559&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Work-Arrangements-By-Age.png?w=1100&amp;ssl=1 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These findings indicate that in-person work is more conducive to mentoring, but younger job seekers continue to prioritize job flexibility. With changing expectations in the modern workforce, employers should encourage in-person work for mentoring activities and facilitate similar opportunities for remote employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-person-mentoring-contributing-factors\">In-Person Mentoring: Contributing Factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When employees have strong mentors, they tend to achieve more <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/07\/why-your-mentorship-program-isnt-working?registration=success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rapid career advancement, higher salaries, greater job satisfaction, and even better physical health and self-esteem<\/a>.

WFH may limit these spontaneous interactions, making it more challenging to establish mentoring relationships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When mentors and mentees share a workspace, it\u2019s easier to schedule in-person meetings, ask questions, and seek or share feedback. This can facilitate more frequent and productive mentoring interactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interpersonal relationships can be developed in-office through impromptu conversations, coffee breaks, and other informal interactions that allow employees to get to know each other on a personal level. This can create camaraderie and a greater sense of trust within a mentoring relationship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-verbal cues such as facial expressions and body language can convey meaning and emotion that may be lost in remote work settings. In-person work allows for the use of non-verbal communication, which can build rapport in mentoring relationships.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bridging-the-gap-3-strategies-to-encourage-remote-mentoring\">Bridging The Gap: 3 Strategies To Encourage Remote Mentoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-establish-a-formal-remote-mentoring-program\">1.

A formal program ensures that mentees and mentors have clear expectations, roles, responsibilities, and outcomes in place. It will also provide guidance on how to measure success, identify gaps in knowledge and skills, and facilitate effective communication between the two parties.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Employee-Assistance-Programs-scaled-e1680804167582-1024x476.jpg?resize=640%2C298&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Programs\" class=\"wp-image-22283\" style=\"width:548px;height:255px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Employee-Assistance-Programs-scaled-e1680804167582.jpg?resize=1024%2C476&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Employee-Assistance-Programs-scaled-e1680804167582.jpg?resize=300%2C139&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Employee-Assistance-Programs-scaled-e1680804167582.jpg?resize=768%2C357&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Employee-Assistance-Programs-scaled-e1680804167582.jpg?resize=1536%2C714&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Employee-Assistance-Programs-scaled-e1680804167582.jpg?resize=2048%2C952&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Employee-Assistance-Programs-scaled-e1680804167582.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Employee-Assistance-Programs-scaled-e1680804167582.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Structuring a remote mentor program begins with formal mentoring partnerships:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mentors should be carefully chosen based on their expertise and track record of guiding others through challenges. It is also important to consider the mentee\u2019s job position, work style, and communication preferences to determine a good match.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is vital for mentors to take the time to understand the mentee\u2019s needs, provide clear goals and objectives for the partnership, and set regular reviews throughout the program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mentor and mentee should agree on reasonable expectations for communication frequency to ensure accountability for their commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online resources, such as video calls and messaging services, allow mentors and mentees to transcend distance and time zones to work together. Other features, like tracking systems and shared documents, can be useful organizational tools for project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-foster-community-collaboration\">2.

Not only does this foster a culture of learning, but it also creates supplementary mentor-mentee relationships between team members. This collaborative and supportive environment strengthens the virtual community and improves the overall team dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acknowledging professional achievements and expressing appreciation for employees&#8217; efforts is key to boosting engagement and encouraging them to continue growing. This is especially valuable in mentoring relationships, where the mentor plays a crucial role in guiding and supporting the mentee.
