The reports a director needs once a week
A director does not need another dashboard. They need four short reports, read in ten minutes at the start of the week, that show where to step in before the problem arrives from another direction.
1. Attendance: who is missing and who is back
The first report is not an overall attendance percentage but a short list: who was absent more than once this week, and who returned after a long absence. Both call for a conversation, not just a record.
2. Exits: exceptions and late returns
In exits, the exceptions are what matter: exits approved after the fact, late returns and collection by someone other than the usual person. These three explain almost every incident at the gate.
3. Maintenance: what has been open too long
For maintenance it is enough to see what has been open beyond its target time. A request past its time is a decision waiting, not a technical fault.
4. Reporting gaps: what was never marked
The report easiest to skip is the one showing what was never reported: unmarked groups, shifts with no report, missing documents in a record. Reporting gaps are what make the other three reports trustworthy or not.
5. How to read the four together
Read them together, in the same order: reporting gaps first, to know how far the numbers can be trusted; then attendance, exits and maintenance. Ten minutes a week replaces most mid week investigations.
