This proven framework helps you balance urgent employee needs with important strategic work, ensuring HR drives both people success and business results.
Urgent & Important
Employee crises - handle immediately

Not Urgent & Important
Culture building - your impact zone

Routine tasks - systematize or delegate
Example: Basic inquiries, data entry, scheduling interviews
Time wasters - eliminate these
Example: Unnecessary meetings, outdated processes, office drama
Focus on what truly helps employees thrive, not just administrative tasks.
Stay ahead of regulations instead of constantly reacting to deadlines.
