Overview
Global HR Hub is a five-page intranet site example for employees who need to find HR guidance for their work location. Its Global HR landing page introduces the United States, United Kingdom, and India pages, links to Country Contacts, and directs employees to Policy Hub for authoritative current policies. Each country page pairs policy links with a Calendar block for up to 12 upcoming events and explains how to reach local HR support when published guidance does not answer a question. Country Contacts is the reference page for verified support routes.
Use the template when employees need a clear route from a broad HR question to country-specific information, a relevant policy source, a calendar, or a help channel. It is especially useful when headquarters and local work locations require distinct guidance, and when policy text should remain in one authoritative home rather than being copied across pages. The site’s horizontal navigation keeps the landing page and country destinations visible.
This hub does not determine policy eligibility, provide legal advice, or establish a complete list of leave entitlements. Country selection alone does not prove that a policy applies; employees must check scope, effective date, role and worksite qualifications. Before publishing, replace the fictional Northstar context, verify contact routes and policy destinations, and connect each Calendar block to a maintained source. Do not use the example as a substitute for a policy repository or as a directory of unverified contacts.
Standards & compliance context
- Treat this hub as a navigation aid rather than legal advice, and have authorized reviewers confirm that country-specific guidance preserves the applicable policy scope and qualifications.
- Do not present calendar events as a complete statement of paid leave, statutory entitlement, or eligibility; verify local applicability before employees rely on them.
- Keep current policy text in the authoritative Policy Hub and ensure links lead to the approved source rather than an unmaintained copy.
- Check that page headings, link labels, navigation, and any imagery remain understandable to employees using assistive technology, and validate the published pages against WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements.
General regulatory context for orientation only — verify current requirements with counsel or the relevant agency before relying on this template for compliance.

- Connect every Calendar block to a maintained source and confirm its events reflect the work locations served by that page.
- State clearly that country selection is a starting point, then direct employees to check policy scope, effective date, role, and worksite qualifications.
- Review affected pages whenever a policy destination, calendar source, local guidance, or support route changes.

Common use cases
Frequently asked questions
Which employees and countries does this Global HR Hub template cover?
The example is organized for employees working in the United States, United Kingdom, and India. Each country page points readers to local guidance, a connected calendar, Policy Hub, and a support route. Add or revise country pages to match your organization’s confirmed locations and support model.
Does choosing a country page determine which HR policy applies to me?
No. The hub helps employees find information but does not establish eligibility. Readers should check the policy’s scope, effective date, and location or role qualifications in the authoritative Policy Hub. If those details do not resolve a question, the country page directs them to the appropriate HR support route.
Who should maintain the pages, and how often should they be reviewed?
The example assigns coordination to a Global HR content owner working with country HR contacts. Review a page when its policy source, contact route, local guidance, or maintained calendar changes, and establish a regular review cadence that fits your organization. The template does not assert that any page has already been reviewed.
Can employees rely on the calendar as a complete list of leave or statutory holidays?
No. The country pages show upcoming events from a configured Calendar source, not a complete statement of leave entitlement or eligibility. Calendar entries may differ by worksite, so employees should confirm local applicability and consult current policy guidance before making plans.
What should employees do when a policy or local arrangement does not answer their question?
The country pages direct employees to the verified HR support route listed on Country Contacts. The contacts page needs confirmed routes and supported topics before publication. If an employee cannot identify the right channel, the sample advises asking a manager to direct them to the approved HR help channel.
What should we customize before publishing the hub?
Confirm the countries and employee audiences, replace the fictional Northstar framing, and verify every policy destination and support route. Configure each Calendar block with the correct source, then check that its events are suitable for the work locations served. Remove or add country pages only after confirming the corresponding local guidance and ownership.
Does the template provide legal compliance advice for each country?
No. It is an orientation and navigation hub, not a source of legal advice or a substitute for current policy. Its safeguards prompt readers to check policy scope, effective dates, role and location qualifications, and local applicability. Have authorized HR or legal reviewers verify country-specific content and routes before launch.
How is this different from sharing HR links in an email or document?
The five-page structure gives employees a stable starting page, separate country pages, and a dedicated contacts reference instead of a flat list of links. Country pages bring policy access, calendar events, and help guidance together while keeping Policy Hub as the authoritative policy source. This makes ownership and source changes easier to review than scattered copies.
What setup is needed for the holiday and event sections?
Each country page uses a Calendar block configured to show up to 12 upcoming events. Connect it to the appropriate maintained source and confirm that the source reflects the intended work locations; the template itself does not create or maintain calendar data. Check the connection whenever the source changes.
