leaving a positive legacy for our world Building fulfilling careers Ulta Beauty offers inspiring career paths for professionals at every level, with leadership development programs that prepare promising future leaders for new levels of responsibility. In fact, across the company, the majority of our promotions are internal. Here are a few of the ways we provide associates with knowledge and help develop their skills along their career journeys. Individual development plans Associates can work toward the career goals they choose and use a learning management system that houses training on role-specific skills, interpersonal skills and more. Ongoing training Continuous learning includes opportunities to learn about new product lines, enhance sales skills or discover ways to make all store guests feel welcome. The Way We Work This new development series helps corporate associates work smarter and better together, empowering them with knowledge and skills such as critical thinking, navigating conflict and engaging in inclusive conversations. Director Leadership Development program This program enables director-level talent to contribute to our culture and business results. It empowers participants to lead with both their head and their heart, keeping Ulta Beauty’s mission, vision and values in mind. Diverse Leaders program Through this program, now in its second year, Ulta Beauty officers mentor high-potential senior managers and directors, with a specific focus on diverse talent. Field leadership conference This program typically brings together thousands of general managers to connect and build their skills. For the first time, the conference was all-virtual in 2021. Mentorship program We introduced a mentoring program in 2020 through which Ulta Beauty leaders mentor more junior associates. The program focuses on self-awareness, driving business results, agility and people development and is chaired by our CEO. Orientation Onboarding takes a variety of forms across our stores, distribution centers and corporate office. All new associates get an introduction to Ulta Beauty’s mission, vision and values. 2021 ESG Report 20 People Introduction Environment Product Supplemental Data Community
