Thank you for your review. We note you are a former employee and worked with us for more than four years. We do wish you well for your future and we thank you for all you achieved as we continue to grow and improve HKA. Sorry, that you would not recommend HKA, and we respect this is your opinion. Unsurprisingly, we do see our Company differently from you. HKA has many excellent people working together, hence why our success is positive. One indicator of that is how very low our attrition rates are and the fact that since HKA was born in 2017, we have grown our employee headcount by 29% across the world. Thank you for noting the Pros of “hybrid working and nice office space” – we care very much about our People and our Clients, and thanks for pointing out those two Pros that impact our People and our Clients. We see the Cons and your comments in advice to Management differently, yet we do not think HKA is perfect and we continue to listen to our Employees, and our Clients and work with them to improve. Our annual employee survey had 89% participation, which makes the results statistically valid and a great source of understanding. In addition, our employees scored HKA as 7.8 out of 10 for “overall how satisfied are you at working at HKA” – a pretty high score from so many employees…yet always more to do individually and collectively to get even better. Thank you again for all you achieved in your four years with HKA. Trust your future is positive. Best always, Kate Partner, HKA’s Chief People Officer
