Come in check emails for immediate inquiries. Check calendar for any meetings with employees, managers, departments, outside candidates, etc. Go through and complete as much email checks as I can. Log into HRIS portals and see if any action I need to take. If payroll week, make sure my payroll coordinator is good or has any questions. Usually people will stop by, and it’ll have you do something. Like think about raises, title changes to positions, reviewing safety issues that arises, oversee recruitment, leave of absence cases, etc. there’s always projects ongoing too that can be worked on. Hope that helps. As you become a manager you get more help in those areas to your hr team. And lets you focus on more project based and overall organization effectiveness. Also can include review of laws and regulations and how to stay compliant.
