SECTION 06 pg. 122 AL-SALĀM REIT LABOUR PRACTICES, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION (CONT’D) Workforce Composition The REIT maintains a lean yet specialised workforce structure that supports effective asset management, governance oversight, and long-term value creation for unitholders and stakeholders. The workforce profile reflects the REIT’s commitment to ensuring that the right mix of leadership experience, professional expertise, and operational capabilities is in place to support the management of its healthcare property portfolio. Across the organisation, employees are distributed across senior management, management, executive and non-executive roles, forming a structured talent pipeline that supports strategic decision-making as well as day-to-day operational functions. While the overall workforce size remains stable across the reporting period, the composition demonstrates the REIT’s continued efforts to strengthen organisational capacity while maintaining an efficient operational structure. Gender representation across the workforce reflects the REIT’s gradual progress towards a more balanced and inclusive leadership environment. Notably, female representation has increased within senior management and executive roles in FY2025, indicating a broader leadership base and supporting more diverse perspectives in strategic and operational decisionmaking. Such diversity contributes to stronger governance practices and enhances the REIT’s ability to navigate a dynamic healthcare real estate landscape. The age distribution across employee categories further highlights the REIT’s approach to balancing experience with emerging talent. Senior leadership continues to benefit from experienced professionals who bring deep institutional knowledge and industry expertise, while the management and executive levels increasingly incorporate mid-career and younger professionals who contribute fresh perspectives and specialised skills. This generational mix strengthens succession planning and supports organisational continuity, ensuring that the REIT maintains the capabilities required to manage its operations effectively over the long term. Permanent employees accounted for 92% of the workforce in FY2023 and 88.5% in FY2024, indicating a strong base of longterm employees who support institutional knowledge, operational continuity, and organisational stability. In FY2025, the proportion of permanent staff was 39%, while contract staff increased to 61%, reflecting a shift towards greater workforce flexibility to meet specific operational or project-based requirements.
