This corner of the shower seems to be having some mold issues from regular use. Water seems to be collecting in that spot after a shower and doesn't seem to be draining properly. Is there anything I can do for a permanent fix?

I've tried keeping my bath fan on for an hour after the shower and don't want to have to squeegy it after each use.

Thanks for the reply. I'm certainly not considering a rebuild of the shower given the expense. I think my fan is strong enough considering that my mirrors do not fog up when I shower (the shower stall glass do not go all the way up so there is a gap for the air to pass through).

It seems like the squeegee is the most pragmatic solution given that it's the cheapest.

Thinking about the stronger/additional exhaust fan or a dehumidifier, it is hard for me to grasp that these devices can increase the rate of evaporation so much to prevent the problem considering the standing water (the droplets on the glass after the shower, and the few inch^2 of area that the water pools)
