We are given the skills of each worker:

Sasha is very good at producing computer-generated graphics

Maurice is skilled at designing logos with pen and paper

To address the immediate problem, Hector's action should be to assign Maurice to do the design in a paper then pass it to Sasha for generating it on the computer. It could also be that if a client requests a paper design, Maurice does it and for computer-generated designs, Sasha will do it.

The corrective action that he should do is let Sasha and Maurice attend trainings for their weaknesses.
