Total Rewards* and the Employee Experience

At Allied, total rewards are designed with the same perspective that shapes our operations. They are intended to support sustained contribution, creativity and a genuine sense of ownership in the work we do.

In practice, this includes:

• Shared financial success and an ownership mindset Eligible employees participate in performance-based bonus programs and a retirement savings program, with the option to invest in traditional funds or Allied units. This approach aligns individual effort with Allied's long-term performance and reinforces a sense of ownership at every level of the organization.

• Intentional presence and time off In addition to vacation, employees receive six personal days and half-days before statutory holidays. Allied supports flexibility while maintaining a strong, in-person culture. This reflects how we collaborate most effectively and how we operate as a business.

• Health, wellbeing and support Comprehensive, company-paid health benefits include vision and dental coverage, along with a healthcare spending account. An employee assistance program is available to provide confidential support when it is needed.

• Growth through leadership and exposure Allied believes in leadership at every level. Employees are encouraged to contribute beyond the boundaries of their role, collaborate across disciplines and develop a broad understanding of the business. For those drawn to real estate, this includes uncommon exposure to how buildings, organizations and cities evolve through hands-on experience and shared responsibility.

• Professional development grounded in practice Learning at Allied is both formal and experiential. Ongoing professional development and a mentorship program support growth through structured learning and day-to-day engagement with experienced colleagues across the organization.

• Purpose and connection beyond work Each year, employees are provided with a paid volunteer day to contribute time and effort to a cause that is personally meaningful to them, reflecting our belief that contribution extends beyond the workplace.
