Building a Future Ready Workforce: AI-integrated Trainings

As part of OUE REIT’s broader efforts to strengthen digital capabilities and embed AI-driven efficiencies across our operations, the Manager conducted two AI-enabled training workshops in November. The first workshop focused on Microsoft 365 Copilot, where employees learnt practical techniques such as effective prompting to maximise AI tools’ capabilities and enhance everyday productivity.

The second workshop featured a customised AI-integrated Excel training aimed at deepening advanced spreadsheet competencies. Participants were introduced to enhanced Excel functions and the latest AI features, including Copilot and ChatGPT-5, which support more efficient data management and analysis. This training is particularly valuable given the central role that Excel plays in supporting day-to-day operational and analytical tasks.

Through these initiatives, OUE REIT continues to strengthen organisational readiness, ensuring our employees are equipped to adapt, innovate and excel in an increasingly digital and AI-enabled environment.

Teamwork in Action: Protecting Our Shores

In September 2025, the employees of the Manager and property management teams of OUE Bayfront, OUE Downtown Office and One Raffles Place gathered at Siloso Beach, Sentosa for an afternoon to conduct a beach clean-up. In the span of 1 hour, we collected a total of 31.35kg worth of litter. A bonding element was also introduced where the team that collected the most litter in terms of weight stood a chance to win prizes. This helped to inculcate team spirit and made the event livelier where employees from different entities got to know one another.

The beach clean-up provided an opportunity to strengthen employees’ understanding of their responsibility in minimising environmental impact. Participants also gained greater insights into the detrimental effects of litter on marine ecosystems and the substantial effort involved in maintaining clean beaches.

Enhancing Learning Accessibility for All: Book Donation Drive

In December, we conducted our second CSR activity under Fairprice Group’s 43rd Share-A-Textbook Initiative, a programme that helps students in Singapore gain better access to learning resources. Through the extensive NTUC network, a wide range of education materials from textbooks to assessment books and guidebooks for subjects such as English, Mathematics, Mother Tongue, Science, and Humanities were collected for students from primary to tertiary levels.

In the span of one week, these books have been carefully sorted into the various subjects and levels. During our volunteer session, our primary role was to help prepare the venue for students and their families to browse and select from the generously donated books the following day. This included setting up book wagons and organising the pre-sorted books according to their respective levels. Through collective efforts, we were able to support over 2,636 students and families and distribute more than 40,000 books during the two-day distribution drive.

For many of us, the experience was a meaningful reminder that there are individuals and families who still rely on community support to access basic learning resources. Through simple actions such as sorting and preparing materials, we were able to contribute meaningfully to students who depend on them. The activity strengthened our sense of purpose and reaffirmed our commitment to supporting educational accessibility and the wider community.
