The ICE Cube Onboarding Framework

A design approach that helps you plan and execute what to cover, how to deliver and who to involve in the onboarding process

Looking to design the perfect induction program?

The trick lies in the systematic planning of the what, when and how of the learning that is delivered to the employee:

SUBJECT - What do they need to learn?
SCOPE – What do they need to learn about?
STYLE - When and how should this learning happen?

SUBJECT: What do they need to learn?

INFORMATION: Facts and figures that an employee should know. Examples would include industry evolution, organization structure, employee id, etc.
CONCEPTS: Conceptual content that an employee should understand.. Examples would include domain knowledge, processes, job description, etc.
EXPECTATIONS: Ideals and behavior that an employee must adhere to. Examples would include industry regulations, organizational values, policies, etc.

SCOPE: What do they need to learn about?

INDUSTRY: Learn about the industry your company operates in. Examples would include evolution of the industry, domain knowledge, regulations, etc.
COMPANY: Learn about your company itself. Examples would include company history, organization structure, products, processes and policies of the company, etc.
EMPLOYEE: Learn about matters pertaining to the employee's specific role and context. Examples would include job descriptions, KRAs, KPIs, etc.

STYLE: When and how should the learning happen?

INSTRUCTOR-LED: Learning in a classroom or workshop environment, ideal for discussion-based learning or attitude orientation of employees
COACHING: Learning through on-the-job activities or through interactions with a buddy, mentor or coach, ideal for building expertise and skills
E-LEARNING: Learning through self-paced learning delivered via technology, ideal for continuous and referential learning

How do you apply the framework to your organization?

STEP 1 - CONTENT PLANNING: Fill up the Subject-Scope Matrix to exhaustively define the content that the learner must be exposed to for effective onboarding
STEP 2 - COMMUNICATION PLANNING: Decide on Style for each content nugget in the Subject-Scope Matrix while outlining the duration and medium of learning
STEP 3 - COORDINATION PLANNING: Organize and provision learning logistics like systems, workshops, trainers, content creators and coaches
