About the role
The Real-Time Analyst owns live intraday monitoring for attendance, adherence, staffing variance, break/lunch compliance, coverage risk, and real-time escalation support. This role is the live control point for actual-vs-planned staffing during the operating day. The RTA supports Shift Leads and the Workforce Manager by surfacing coverage gaps quickly, validating the operational impact of lates, absences, schedule deviations, training pulls, workstation issues, and robot-utilization blockers, and keeping live staffing data accurate.
Key responsibilities
- Track login status, lates, absences, early outs, over-breaks, over-lunches, and off-phone / off-task deviations
- Monitor schedule adherence throughout the shift and flag exceptions requiring Team Lead, Shift Lead, or WFM action
- Maintain live visibility of actual present HC, productive HC, shrinkage, break/lunch status, and training or nesting pulls
- Identify under-covered intervals and alert the Shift Lead before the gap affects robot coverage or service continuity
- Validate whether attendance and adherence issues are one-time exceptions or recurring patterns that need coaching or escalation
- Provide live staffing snapshots to Shift Leads, Site Leads, and WFM
- Identify which operators are available, delayed, on break, on lunch, in training, offline, or available for approved movement
- Support intraday recovery by showing coverage impact for absences, lates, equipment outages, training pulls, robot downtime, and demand variance
- Notify Team Leads and Shift Leads of attendance or adherence risks within the agreed communication SLA
- Maintain the live attendance tracker and adherence exception log
