Having issues with a first year associate. She was difficult to manage before this work from home thing started, but it has gotten worse the last 2 months. Any tips to get new associates to care about their work? Or ways to keep them engaged when we’re all remote?

Output-focused. Have her send you (or send her) a list of what she should accomplish that week. At the end of the week, she has everything done or ask her to add a note explaining what’s the hold-up for each item. Repeat for 3 weeks. If the status quo remains, you send the all of the lists to the manager and ask her to be taken off the schedule.

When you mean “care” does this person not check their work before sending it or just flat out have a bad attitude? In some ways You can’t teach caring to others. That has to be internal in many ways, I look at it like in terms of self motivation and pride you take in your work. Have you asked them about what makes them motivated to work?

Also, pre-Covid do you have much if any of a personal/social relationship, whether at happy hour type of events or just talking during meal time?

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
