Did you know that 73% of professionals experience feelings of exclusion in the workplace?

This "Fear of Missing Out" isn't just about social events—it’s about missing important corporate updates, team discussions, and decisions that affect your work. For teams working across departments, remote locations, or even different time zones, feeling connected and informed is essential. A modern, dynamic, and personalized company hub can make a huge difference, ensuring that employees have easy access to the information and resources they need to stay engaged and aligned.

🔑 What is the Confluence Company Hub, and How Does It Work?

Atlassian’s new Company Hub is a feature available only for Confluence Premium and Enterprise customers, aiming to give teams a central space for internal communication. The Company Hub comes pre-configured with two macros that make it easy to share information. Here’s a look at what’s included by default:

As you can see, we have a carousel and three different card macros, used differently.

• 🎠 Carousel Macro for Announcements
  At the top of the Company Hub, you’ll find a Carousel macro that lets you highlight rotating content, ideal for announcements, company updates, or critical news.

• 📇 Cards Macro for Employee Shout-Outs
  A way to celebrate your team with employee recognition and shout-outs.

• 🛠 Cards Macro for Resources
  Share important tools, guides, and other resources in a neat, accessible format.

• 🔗 Cards Macro for Quick Links
  A space to link to frequently used tools or company pages, keeping everything at your fingertips.

Filled with some information, a Company Hub with Confluence can look like this:

This feature is valuable but limited in reach. Since the Confluence Company Hub is only available on Premium and Enterprise plans, many teams on Standard are left without a central solution for company-wide communication. Additionally, it remains largely a static tool for top-down updates rather than an interactive or personalized experience.

You can set a Mantra hub as the homepage for any Confluence space, providing an organized, streamlined entry point for team members each day. This setup ensures employees can easily access the most critical content, creating a consistent, professional experience across the organization.

Alternatively, you could even integrate Mantra within Atlassian’s Company Hub by using the Mantra Macro.

With features for team posts, interest groups, and event announcements, the Community Section encourages both top-down communication and bottom-up engagement. Employees can post updates, celebrate wins, or create group discussions that foster a sense of belonging. This section helps break down silos and creates a more connected workplace, where ideas and interactions flow freely across all levels of the organization.
