The Group adopts a “job competency based” approach as the core of its talent development framework, aligning training planning with its job grade management system. Based on the competency requirements corresponding to different job families and grades, the Group designs tailored learning content, practical assignments and assessment methods, thereby establishing a structured and traceable employee development pathway. A multi-track job grading system (including management, R&D, professional, marketing and operational tracks) has been established, supported by clearly defined grade hierarchies to enable employees to deepen expertise within professional pathways or transition into management roles, enhancing consistency in talent development and workforce management. To ensure that training is closely aligned with role-specific competency requirements and effectively supports employee career progression, the Group follows a structured framework of “competency models – training programmes – practical application”. It promotes the implementation of tiered and track-based key training initiatives across its business units, covering critical talent groups such as frontline supervisors, R&D technical personnel, skilled workers and core business staff, thereby continuously building a scalable and replicable closed-loop capability development system. - 10.5 Employee Development and Training 10.5.1 Talent Development Overview of The United Laboratories Talent Development System Building a Scalable Talent Development System for Exponential Talent Growth Strategy-driven Principle: Top-down – Translating Strategy into Capabilities Business Empowerment Principle: Bottom-up – Addressing Business Pain Points Leadership (Leadership Model) Professional Capability (Competency Standards) General Capabilities – United Lecture Series (Online + Offline) Dream Pursuit Programme – University Students Launch Programme – Graduate Hires / Experienced New Employees Learning Platform Instructor Pool Course Library General Professional Programme (Capability Foundation) Marketing / R&D / Functional / Production / Quality Shanhai Programme (Professional Leadership Track) General Leadership Programme (Core Talent Pool) For M1–M4 management cadre development Shanhai Programme (Key TalentAdvancement Track) High-potential young talents / key personnel Transition Programme (NewlyAppointed Managers) Newly appointed officials Marketing Leadership Programme R&D Leadership Programme Functional Leadership Programme Production Leadership Programme Emerging Leaders Programme (M0–M1) Supervisory Development Programme (M1–M2) Mid-level Leadership Programme (M2–M3) Senior Leadership Programme (M3–M4) Foundation Programme (General Trainees) Leadership Track Layered Development Pathway Talent Pipeline 98 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance Report
