AL-SALAM REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2017

82 AL-SALĀM REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2017 RETAINING TALENT AND DEVELOPING SKILLS We cultivate our pool of talent by enrolling them in training and development programmes that are catered towards enhancing interpersonal skills and increasing knowledge on matters related to REIT business conduct. The total training hours dedicated to enhancing our employee’s talents and skills is approximately 192 hours in FY2017. We provided learning opportunities for our employees through a series of training sessions that includes occupational health and safety courses, investment-related forums, anti-corruption training and career development opportunities. Our aim is to continue this practice in the future by ensuring that all our employees are given equal opportunity to learn and grow as the Fund continues to expand its business operations. MANAGING OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY AND SECURITY We are committed to minimising risks, securing the safety, and protecting the health of our tenants, contractors, employees and visitors who work in or visit the Fund’s properties. As such, we have incorporated occupational safety and health policies and guidelines into our daily business operations with the aim of creating a safety culture with a zero tolerance towards workplace injury. Moving forward, some of the proposals include safety campaigns and awareness training programmes. A team of well-trained employees have been assigned to form an Emergency Response Team (ERT). The ERT is tasked to handle emergencies such as fires and security breaches.
