Every organisation gets its own hub inside October: a Werksmans hub, a V&A hub, a Schneider Electric hub. Closed sessions for your people, featured coaching courses you chose, company podcasts and announcements, a checklist of the things you need done this quarter, and challenges with a leaderboard. Everything tailored to your workplace, in the same app people already open every day.
Culture does not live in an intranet nobody visits. It lives in the app people open at 7am for their rings. Put the company there.
Who it’s for
The company hub is for the people who need to reach everyone, and for the people who are hardest to reach.
Good news and important changes, sent by email and lost in the inbox.
“Our comms don’t land. The people who most need them never open the intranet.”
Publish articles and videos to your hub, inside the app people already open for their daily check-in. The AI Content Creator turns a policy or an FAQ into a readable first draft.
A restructure, a merger, a return to the office or a hard year-end.
“People need a safe place to ask the hard questions, without HR in the room.”
Brief a closed live session on exactly what is happening. An October expert hosts it, only your people can join, and they can stay as anonymous as they like.
A course library bought last year. Starts are low and falling.
“We need people to take the one course that matters this quarter.”
Highlight a coaching course in the hub with “Your company has highlighted this course just for you”. Ash delivers it in short modules, and you can author your own.
On shift, on the road or on nights. Never at a desk at 10am.
“Every session and update happens when I’m working.”
Closed sessions are recorded to your private podcasts, so anyone can listen later. Company news, surveys and challenges are on their phone, in one place.
Why company messages miss
TodayCompany news goes out by email and sits on an intranet only office staff ever open.
With OctoberArticles and videos go to your hub in the October app, on every employee’s phone, beside their daily rings.
TodayChange is explained in a town hall where nobody feels able to ask the real question.
With OctoberA closed session, hosted by an October expert, gives people a private room to listen and ask without being named.
TodaySessions happen once, at one time, and shift workers miss all of them.
With OctoberClosed sessions are recorded to your company podcasts, so they are there whenever people are.
TodaySurveys, courses and challenges each arrive through a different tool and a different login.
With OctoberOne checklist in the hub points people to the coaching course, the new survey, the podcasts and this month’s leaderboard.
Inside the hub
Everything your organisation wants people to see, in one place they already trust.
One place
Every organisation gets its own hub in October. Company sessions sit at the top, then a checklist of what matters now: a coaching course, new surveys, your podcasts and the leaderboard. Your own articles and videos follow.
Closed sessions
Brief a live session on the topic your organisation is facing. October’s experts host it, and only your organisation, or the groups you choose, can join. People can listen, raise a hand or answer a poll, and stay as anonymous as they like.
You can stay as anonymous as you like. This session is being recorded for the Kestrel podcast library.
Your content
In the portal’s Content Hub, bring an idea, a topic or your own knowledge, and the AI Content Creator drafts articles, e-books and courses for your people. Add your own articles, organise the collection and choose what to publish in the app.
Featured and recorded
Highlight the coaching course that fits your strategy this quarter and it sits in the hub with a note that you chose it. Past closed sessions become company podcasts, and the monthly company leaderboard is one tap away.

A restructure, handled well
An illustrative restructure at a 1,200-person services business, planned with its October customer success manager.
Publishes an article to the hub explaining the changes, drafted from the internal FAQ with the AI Content Creator and edited by Comms.
Agrees a closed session brief with the People team: what is changing, what support exists and how to cope with uncertainty.
Joins the closed session on their phone during lunch. Listens, answers the host’s poll and never gives their name.
Finds the recording in the company podcasts and listens on the way home.
Highlights “Leading through change” for managers and reviews attendance numbers with their CSM. Never who attended.
Put the company where people already are.
How it works
Your hub carries your organisation’s name inside October. Your customer success manager sets it up with you.
Agree a closed session, a featured course and a challenge for the month, based on what your organisation is facing.
Post articles and videos from the Content Hub, then review attendance and participation with your CSM.
Trust built in
People join closed sessions and stay as anonymous as they like. Leaders see counts, never names.
For employer-mandated learning sessions only, attendance is recorded by company email so it can be verified. People are told up front.
Closed sessions and their recordings are limited to your organisation or the groups you choose.
AI drafts content, but your team edits it and chooses what is published in the app.
Works with
Closed sessions sit alongside October’s open schedule of expert-led sessions.
ExploreCustom coaching courses and AI-made content are published to your hub.
ExploreCompany Journeys and leaderboards run on the same XP and Gems.
ExploreWhen the insights point at a team, the next step is often a closed session.
ExploreYour customer success manager runs the rhythm with you: brief the closed session on what this month needs, feature the course, publish the announcement, launch the challenge, then read the signal. It takes about an hour, and it lands in the app people already open every morning.
Company news in a portal, wellbeing on a poster, culture in a slide deck. The hub puts all of it in the app people open for their rings, with read rates you can see.
ThriveMeter, new surveys, company podcasts and this month’s challenge in one list. Team leaderboards and company rewards make participation visible and never expose anyone’s data.
These features use wellbeing data across groups to help leaders plan support in the employee app, without identifying individuals.
Company-specific live sessions on the topics you brief: navigating burnout in year-end, a restructure, a return to office. Hosted by October experts, attended anonymously, recorded to your hub.
Here is exactly what stays with the person inside Company hub, and what the organisation gets back: de-identified, above a minimum group size, and never a name.
How October keeps the promiseCompany hub stands on its own. Connect it with the modules below and the person gets more support, the organisation a clearer view of wellbeing trends, and neither one gives up any privacy.
Very little. Your customer success manager helps plan closed sessions and challenges on a monthly cadence, and announcements are a form. Most teams spend an hour a month.
Yes. The hub carries your name and logo inside the app, and closed sessions and company rewards are yours.
No. Attendance is anonymous. Leaders see counts and the aggregate themes that came up.
