One method I personally adopted in my professional life is delaying the usage of pronouns until the day I personally believe I memorized the names properly. In a setting where I can say "She can do that.", I instead say "Jenna can do that." until I'm satisfied with my memory.

haha this was also one of my tactics. Even when I’d speak to someone one on one I’d slip their name into the conversation.

I think most people like hearing their name being said so even when I slipped their name into things that people normally say without using names it didn’t come off as too creepy, at least I don’t think.

People know you are working on remembering their name, so it's all good.
