Sustainability and Climate Report Training and Development [404-1] [404-2] UHREIT cultivates a future-ready workforce by embedding continuous learning and upskilling into our culture. All employees complete a structured mix of core and supplementary training hours across key areas such as cybersecurity, rules and ethics and anti-money laundering. The Manager further delivers role relevant modules (e.g. financial and sustainability reporting) to ensure learning is directly applicable to employees’ functions. Furthermore, employees are encouraged to propose courses that add value to their day-to-day responsibilities and to broaden capabilities through relevant webinars and seminars. Informal feedback is obtained from employees on course choices to stay responsive to needs. Additional feedback channels for training and development include employee surveys and one-on-one year end appraisals with supervisors. In FY2025, the Manager exceeded its target of an average of 20 training hours per employee, achieving 24.9 hours per employee1. Female employees recorded 175.5 training hours, while male employees recorded 98.3 training hours (Table 13). By employee category, staff level employees recorded 71 hours, middle management recorded 116 hours, and senior management recorded 86.8 hours (Table 14). During the year, we provided training courses to all employees through our training partner, Salmon Thrust. These courses were selected in recognition of the importance of equipping employees with a strong understanding of key business and ethical risks encountered in their day-to-day work, as well as the appropriate responses in each situation. The courses covered the following areas: • Ethics and Conflicts of Interests • Securities Related Regulation • Technology Risk • Fit and Proper Requirements for Approved SFA/FAA Representatives • AML Regulations • Cybersecurity Awareness for Financial Services 90 UNITED HAMPSHIRE US REIT
