Thank you so much for recommending HKA and being so positive about our business outlook. We value your opinions and in particular, we are pleased that you continue to work with us at HKA, you mentioned you have been working with us for more than six years. Thank you for all you have achieved to help HKA continue to be successful and to grow. In reading your post, we are delighted for you that you experience many pros of working at HKA. Good to understand that you value “Flexible schedule, nice coworkers, hybrid work environment, minimal to no travel, supportive of career advancement” We continue to do everything we can to make HKA a great place to work – we can see areas for improvement and we are working on those. Noting the points you made on cons if you think there are actions we can take to improve these areas please do let us know. Your regional people team and I are here to help and support – so always feel free to reach out to us or your line manager of course. We are in this together! On your point about the “no set bonus formula”; we took a decision a few years ago to evolve from a formulaic bonus to one based on performance and behaviours; which brings more discussion into the bonus decision. We do think this bonus approach is helping HKA become more successful as we place the importance on performance with the right behaviours to drive collaboration and global growth/improvement. Again, many thanks for taking the time to post your views, which is most helpful. Keep well and thank you. Best regards Kate Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer

Thank you so much for positive and balanced posting and that you recommend HKA to others. Delighted to read your "Pros" of HKA , especially that we have "interesting projects and Clients" and we have a "collaborative environment". I also love that you said we have "focus on diversity, equality and inclusion...we know we have much to do here; yet we are honest about our position and taking many actions to improve ourselves here. We passionately feel "actions speak louder than words" on ED&I. Thank you also for your point under "Con"...I do think your point about "client deadlines can mean long hours" is fair. Of course, we need to constantly keep an eye on that, as the mental and physical health of our colleagues is a top priority for us. We also are in "growth mode"; so welcome more brilliant and diverse people to join us - hopefully over time we will have more talented people to help us with the workload and Client deadlines. We know that our people make the difference in HKA. Thank you for being part of our team and helping to make HKA resilient and successful - we look forward to working with you in 2021 and achieving more together. Please stay with us too! Please do keep well, particularly during this pandemic. Wishing you a great 2021 personally and professionally. Kate Wood, Chief People Officer

Great to read a posting from a current employee and Partner of HKA. Thank you for taking the time to post your views about HKA. Really good to read you think we have amazing people with incredible experience and there is great support for new ideas and the growth potential is tremendous. You wont be surprised for me to agree with you! Our people are the difference and I think they are brilliant. You said you had been here for less than a year and you love working at HKA - this makes me happy for you and I am so pleased for you that you see our people being supportive - that is very important when you are new, especially when you joined during a pandemic where "in person" time is limited. As you know, we do value opinions from our people, our clients and other colleagues, as this allows us to consider the feedback and look to improve further. Part of our continuous improvement journey, now includes us reviewing every post on Glassdoor. Thank you so much again for sharing your views on HKA. Stay safe and please keep well dear colleague in Houston. Best regards Kate Wood Chief People Officer
