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

Feel free to reach out as a current employee – perhaps we can help? Pleased for you that you see the positives of working at HKA “Good benefits, hybrid working, learning and development opportunities”. Sorry to read your Cons. We always listen and try to help…so if you can, do reach out to someone in HKA to try to make things better for you. We respect that this is your opinion, yet the vast majority of our people state our culture is collaborative, healthy, and high-performing (as evidenced in our annual employee survey and our day-to-day lived experience) …we are curious why you see this differently, and perhaps if we speak we can see thing from your point of view and improve things for you? In the interim, please take care of yourself. Best regards Kate Your Chief People Officer

I am so sorry that you feel this way. I do appreciate that you posted nearly a year ago and you are a former employee. I apologize that I am only now responding to your post and for sure HKA has evolved positively since your posting, in July 2020. Part of our continuous improvement journey at HKA is to now respond to all postings on Glassdoor as we value the diverse and different opinions posted. Firstly I do hope wherever in the world you are, you are safe and enjoying your new company. I am pleased that while you were at HKA you observed "good experience in claims and dispute". Thank you. I do see your "Cons" differently albeit that I respect that these are your views. In contrast, I do see our colleagues in HKA being very loyal and helping us continue to improve HKA and deliver great work for our clients. I also see great results and good behaviours being recognized; although I do think we can improve further in this area. I was not at HKA when you give the example of "staff employed for over 33 years made redundant without any notice"; so it would be fool hardy of me to comment in detail; notwithstanding that I can reassure you that I am clear we always follow good practice, the law and care for out people if sad and difficult commercial decisions have to be made to make a post and a person redundant. We take these decisions very carefully and try hard to avoid redundancies. We are growing as a firm globally, so this puts HKA in a strong position to support clients and our people as we go forward. Many thanks for your post and of course for your work during your time at HKA. Wishing you all the very best for the future. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer
