What Great Mentorship Looks Like in a Hybrid Workplace

In a time of incredible change, professional disruption, and overwhelming loneliness, mentorship can anchor us. But how do we mentor in a remote, distributed workforce? Coming together online doesn’t need to be the watered-down version of being together in-person; some things are actually better because of — not in spite of — being remote. Remote mentoring can promote equity and build relationships free from the biases we face in person, when we know another’s height, physical ability, or pregnancy status, to name a few examples. Without the limiting factor of geographic proximity, you can expand your pool to make great mentor/mentee matches that prioritize shared interests and values over logistics. You might find that by embracing the digital tools you have, you can build an even more robust mentorship program than you had before.
