How well is your Onboarding process?

Whom to onboard (Top down/Bottom up) :
You as an organisation are clear about which stakeholder/s (e.g. employee, supplier, dealer etc) to be onboarded, both in terms of business need (top down) and the complexity of knowledge transfer (bottom up)

Prioritisation :
Your organisation is absolutely clear on which stakeholders onboarding is very critical and which ones not. This always helps your team to focus and saves a lot of dissipation of efforts.

Pre-Onboarding (Start early) :
Your organisation is always on look out for the Pre-onboarding opportunities e.g. Even before an employee joins, he is being trained or even before a supplier is officially supplying, he is trained

Providing Tools :
Your organisation is providing relevant tools to your people for content creation as well as content consumption. (e.g. Use of LMS, Internal social network, Internal webinars etc. is well in place)

Process – Existing SOPs or BEST Practices documentation/Easy way to create content :
Your organisation is not reinventing the wheel again. e.g. You have process to document existing SOPs/BEST Practices and the same is being used as a training material

Stakeholder’s Language :
Your organisation is training your stakeholders in their language. e.g. Your blue collar staff is getting trained in their language

Regular review of the content :
Your onboarding content is getting reviewed on regular basis (half yearly/yearly) to accomodate the new changes to keep it relevant

Automation :
Your have already automated or are in the process of automating the most important steps in your onboarding process (e.g. Automated content delivery etc.)

Feedback :
You collect the feedback about the onboarding process and a mechanism is well in place to implement the learnings/suggestions received

Org Structure (Involvement of stakeholders in design) :
Your organisation involves newly onboarded stakeholders in the design of the onboarding content. This mechanism is well in place to make your onboarding relevant to the audience

Motivation to train others as well as get trained :
Your organisation is motivating your people to create, share as well as consume content (e.g. KRAs, Awards, Inernal recognition mechanism is well in place)
