I've noticed this as a serious problem for our new hires as well.

The unpleasant truth is that mentoring someone is something that works far better in person, where they can learn from you both directly, through explicit tutoring, and indirectly, through experiencing the kind of person you are and how you navigate your environment.

I feel like this is one good reason why a hybrid working approach might end up being the sweet spot between all remote and all in person. A few days a week, a few days a month, or a few weeks a year in the office together to facilitate these kind of activities.
