Thank you for posting your views and saying "good for developing, and most staff are friendly" I note that you no longer work at HKA. Thank you for contributing to the growth of HKA and I wish you well wherever you are now. I note that you think we care more about profit than our people; which I strongly disagree with. We know that our people are the most important factor in HKA and we care deeply about them and help them to enjoy and succeed. A few facts that challenge your view – in our 2021 global colleague survey these questions out of 10 scored most favorably: 8.4/10 My manager cares about me as a person. 8.11/10 My colleagues in HKA are treated equally, fairly and are included 8/10 Employee health and wellbeing is a priority at HKA. 7.9/10 Overall, how satisfied are you working at HKA? I appreciate that you saw things differently to many of our people and to myself – I respect that your view is different. Wishing you all the very best for a positive future. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer
