I find the one-on-one personal reach out to associates is exponentially more effective than the group zoom calls that are burning everyone out.

Yes have more FaceTime, video conference or even just text conversations. If you start pushing the conversation you are opening the dialogue. Most associates don’t want to be a bother so you have to be the aggressor. I mentor attorneys who work for me in other states and have been doing this a long time even pre covid.

I try to reach out at least once
per week to check on caseload and speak about cases or litigation strategy. If I don’t I fear the associate will feel like she is i. no man’s land.

Do some Marco Polos. The younger generations communicate this way.

Similar to others - I have check-in calls scheduled with all my associates at least weekly (one associate is on the cusp and his almost never happens but we talk on deal matters at least twice a week). I ask about their families/roommates/weekend activities and check in about work.

I also do a weekly meeting with the three associates I work most with (group call). I do it via WebEx video-conference. At first it seemed kinda forced, “how is everyone, bla bla bla...”. But now, it’s more natural and I do really feel like it makes us all feel more grounded/connected. And it’s also turning out to be a productive space for talking (collectively/brainstorming) through certain client or general work issues - much better than the short one-on-one weekly check-in meetings I used to do (pre-Covid) with each of them separately.

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.
