In the morning I check my mails and messages to structure my days and prioritize the different topics. During the day it is a mix of meetings with my team or business, administrative tasks and project work.
Successful in your role
As a People Partner you are responsible for a lot of different topics and have a lot of different stakeholders. You should have a good overview of all the topics and make sure that nothing is getting lost. Therefor its crucial being structured and to prioritize.
