No folders gathering dust. Publish a policy and everyone on your team is asked to read and sign it. Hubba shows who’s signed, who’s still waiting and which version they agreed to.
01
Publish
Choose a policy and publish it to your team.
02
Read
Everyone is asked to read it in Hubba, on their phone or computer.
03
Sign
They sign it there and then. Anyone still waiting gets a reminder.
Recorded
Who signed, when and which version, ready for inspection. When a policy changes, everyone signs again.
Your own policies work the same way: upload them and your team signs those too.
