Melbourne Polytechnic Onboarding Process Modernization

This case study details the modernization of the onboarding process at Melbourne Polytechnic, a higher education institution in Australia. Prior to implementing Frontier Software's onboarding solution, the process was heavily manual, relying on email communications, printed forms, and various formats for contracts and compliance documents. This led to confusion, delays, and compliance risks. The objective was to streamline the onboarding process by removing paperwork and consolidating everything into a single platform. The implementation was collaborative, with Frontier Software tailoring the system to meet compliance and policy requirements. Eighteen months after implementation, over 520 employees have been onboarded through the new system, resulting in significant time savings and improved data accuracy. The onboarding solution has enhanced compliance, record management, and overall efficiency, marking a shift from paper-based administration to a digital process that supports Melbourne Polytechnic's broader HR modernization program.
