Thanks Alex and Jerome for your suggestions on how to better integrate the member. Today was vastly improved and I noticed him controlling the volume of his voice better. Also a few members personally introduced themselves to him today as a way of bridging the gap. That seemed to help as well.
We don't have a formal onboarding process, so stuff like this can really go a long way. Thanks Ramon for your sound suggestions and I'm going to explore the white noise one a bit. Barbara - I like the way you subdivided your space! Can you share more details on the materials you used to construct your phone booths? Thanks!
