Dramatically improve team collaboration by adopting the new Hub Planner Global Public Holiday Extension. Flexibility and adaptability is key to facilitate effective resource scheduling management and project planning. Especially for global teams. Hub Planner extends the already cohesive resource management software offering by allowing you to manage multiple holiday calendars globally. Not only that, we have created the functionality to import public holidays by country.
Cohesion is an imperative aspect of a global team. Installing the New Premium Extension of Global Public Holiday Calendars, allows you to plan ahead and avoids delays in managing time off. It’s also extremely important to also take the various cultures into consideration. With this in mind, Hub Planner have developed the functionality to not only import the holidays of each country. But, we have segregated them into 4 levels which you can adjust and add for each country and calendar you create.
The levels are as follows:
All calendar types are tick box options for Resource Managers to apply as necessary. Perhaps there is a requirement for some but not all holidays to be allocated. Therefore Hub Planner have cleverly developed the option to edit or remove the holidays from the calendars.
For example, a company gives Christmas Eve off to resources. Yet it’s not a public holiday under any of the levels. Hub Planner have created the option for companies to add Christmas Eve or any other holiday to their calendar listing.
Another example being, a company see Good Friday as working day. Even though it is a religious holiday for some. Companies are multicultural, multi-denominational, and need to take these into consideration when granting a holiday calendar. Therefore, there are options to remove, add or edit holidays within a calendar.
Simplicity is key when managing a global team. That’s why we’ve made it so easy for resource managers to toggle between calendars. View multiple calendars in tab format. This helps to quickly view holidays per region or country. Not only that, we’ve added the function to color code calendar dates. This makes it easy to differentiate at a glance within the Hub Planner Scheduler.

Yes, communication is undoubtedly important. How to combine this over multiple time zones is a tough cookie. However, communication doesn’t necessarily have to be in real time all of the time? While Hub Planner facilitates notes and access to 3rd party links. We also facilitate a direct inline integration to Basecamp which can massively help with communication through teams based around the globe. Or for those with access, how about using API to sync with Hub Planner and your comms channel like Slack or Rocket.Chat?
