HKA reviews

Thank you for sharing your view on HKA as you posted back in June 2019. Your post is important and deserves a reply. I am sorry we are only just replying to you now. I was sad to read your post and I am sorry you feel this way about HKA. I respect that this is your view and you posted in June 2019; so much has evolved since that time. I joined HKA in April 2020 and in the eight months I have been here; I do see HKA differently to your view back in June 2019. Of course that difference may be explained by a number of factors, including the time difference. I can only hope that you are still at HKA and you too are seeing/feeling all of the improvements we continue to make around our three strategic objectives of our Clients, our People and our business performance. Do always feel free to reach out to me if you would like to share your experience further; and I am most willing to listen – my work email is katewood@hka.com In my time at HKA for over eight months I have seen tremendous passion, care and improvement action for HKA employees from the leaders across the HKA family. I have also observed that colleagues across the globe speak up with their opinions that are listened to, collaborate together to support and help each other. Our people are the difference that has taken HKA to an even better place. I joined during a lockdown pandemic in April 2020 and the care I have seen to protect and support health and wellbeing of our colleagues is huge and a first priority. We also asked all our colleagues globally if HKA was supporting them during this pandemic and the survey results that came back were extremely positive. I truly believe we have a great Company with brilliant people. We are on a progressive journey of improvement and we are not complacent as there are areas where we need and want to improve. Part of our continuous improvement journey, now includes us reviewing every post on Glassdoor, as all opinions matter and we want to listen and learn and respect everyone by replying. As mentioned above, if you want to talk about your experience, then lets connect. Wishing you all the very best for the future. Best regards Kate Wood Chief People Officer

Thank you for sharing your view on HKA as you posted as former employee. Your post is important and deserves a reply; albeit we are slow to reply – sorry. I joined HKA a year after your post. I am HKA’s Chief People Officer and together with colleagues across the globe we are continuously improving HKA. Part of our continuous improvement journey now includes us reviewing every post on Glassdoor, as all opinions matter and we want to listen and learn and respect everyone by replying. I note you are a current employee in London and have been with us for over 5 years. I really hope you are still at HKA now; as I trust you will be feeling the positive improvements we are making. I know at the time you posted you felt we were “worried more about fees that staff” – I really hope during 2020 you have experienced the passion and priority we have for our brilliant people at HKA. Since I have been at HKA for over eight months I have seen tremendous passion, care and improvement action for our HKA employees. I have also observed that colleagues across the globe speak up with their opinions that are listened to, collaborate together to support and help each other. Our people are the difference that has taken HKA to an even better place. I joined during a lockdown pandemic in April 2020 and the care I have seen to protect and support health and wellbeing of our colleagues is huge and a first priority. We also asked all our colleagues globally if HKA was supporting them during this pandemic and the survey results that came back were extremely positive. Delighted that you felt HKA had “good pay, benefits, some good people”. I totally respect these are your views. I am really sorry you thought “if your face doesn’t fit your toast” – that really saddened me. Currently, I do know we are very focused on equality, diversity and inclusion. We do value different colleagues as we know that it is simply the right human approach while it also makes our business stronger. We continue to work hard to embed our ED&I actions. Thank you so much for posting your views. Fingers crossed you feel we have improved since you posted in May 2019. Always feel free to contact me directly in HKA. Thanks. Do keep well. Kate Wood, Chief People Officer
