Organizations today face increasing pressure to communicate effectively, engage employees, and measure the impact of workplace communications. The hubley Q2 2026 Green Release introduces new capabilities designed to help organizations do exactly that.
This release includes a completely redesigned NewsHub experience, new AI-powered employee tools, advanced intranet analytics, accessibility enhancements, and improvements across the hubley platform that make it easier to create connected employee experiences.
Reimagining Employee Communications with the New NewsHub
Effective communication starts with having the right tools.
This quarter, NewsHub has been completely redesigned to simplify how organizations create, manage, and distribute internal communications. The new experience brings content creation, publishing, scheduling, approvals, email distribution, and lifecycle management together in a single, streamlined solution.
With drag-and-drop editing and ready-to-use templates, communicators can create engaging news content faster while maintaining consistency across the organization.
Key enhancements include:
- Drag-and-drop editing
- Built-in templates
- Email distribution
- Approval workflows
- Scheduling
- Content lifecycle management
The result is a more efficient publishing experience that helps organizations deliver timely, relevant communications at scale.
Turning Intranet Activity into Actionable Insights
Knowing whether employees are engaging with content is just as important as publishing it.
AnalyticsHub, available within the hubley Intelligence tier, gives organizations visibility into employee engagement, content performance, search activity, and overall intranet health.
Designed for communicators, intranet owners, HR teams, and business leaders, AnalyticsHub helps answer critical questions:
- Which content resonates most with employees?
- What information are employees searching for?
- Where are engagement gaps emerging?
- How can communications be improved over time?
Rather than relying on assumptions, organizations can use data to continuously improve the employee experience.
Breaking Down Language Barriers
Today’s workforce is more distributed and diverse than ever.
Our Translator helps organizations create a more inclusive workplace by allowing employees to instantly view intranet content in their preferred language.
Real-time translation makes it easier for employees to understand important announcements, access resources, and stay connected regardless of language preference.
By improving content accessibility across languages, organizations can strengthen engagement and ensure communications reach every employee.
AI-Powered Policy Management
Policies are only effective when employees can quickly find and understand them.
New AI capabilities within PolicyHub+ help simplify the policy experience through:
- AI-generated policy summaries
- Natural-language AI Chat
- Faster access to policy information
- Improved employee understanding
Instead of searching through lengthy documents, employees can receive answers directly from policy content, helping reduce friction and improve policy adoption.
Measuring Communication Effectiveness
Organizations send newsletters, announcements, updates, and campaigns every day, but measuring success has historically been difficult.
NewsHub Analytics provides insight into:
- Page views
- Email opens
- Click activity
- Survey participation
- Engagement trends
These metrics help communication teams understand how employees interact with content and identify opportunities to improve future communications.
A Modernized Onboarding Experience
The Green Release also introduces a refreshed OnboardingHub experience.
The updated interface helps organizations create more engaging onboarding journeys while simplifying how tasks and progress are managed throughout the employee onboarding process.
The improved experience is designed to strengthen employee connections from day one while helping organizations deliver consistent onboarding experiences across departments and locations.
Stronger Governance for Policy Management
PolicyHub+ also introduces powerful workflow enhancements that help organizations strengthen governance and compliance processes.
New capabilities include:
- Configurable multi-stage approval workflows
- Dynamic approval routing
- Flexible approval rules
- Simplified workflow administration
These enhancements help organizations manage policy reviews more efficiently while maintaining appropriate oversight and accountability.
Making Intranet Design More Scalable
Webpart Settings Configuration Templates continue to expand with support for additional components including:
- Color Banner
- hubley Org Chart
- People Finder
Templates allow organizations to save preferred configurations and apply them across multiple sites, making it easier to maintain consistency while reducing administrative effort.
Advancing Accessibility Across the Platform
Creating an inclusive digital workplace remains a priority.
This release includes accessibility enhancements designed to support ADA and WCAG best practices, including:
- Enhanced keyboard navigation
- Improved screen reader support
- Clearer accessibility feedback
- Smarter focus management
These improvements help ensure employees can access the tools and information they need regardless of how they interact with workplace technology.
Additional Enhancements Across hubley
The Q2 2026 Green Release also includes improvements throughout the platform, including updates to EventHub, Celebrations, Leadership Message, Personal Greeting, StaffHub, Contacts, ApplicationHub, JobHub, LocationHub, and other solutions.
Together, these enhancements continue hubley’s mission of helping organizations build more connected, engaging, and intelligent employee experiences.
