Thank you for sharing your view on HKA as you posted as a former employee. Your post is important and deserves a reply. I was sad to read your post and I am sorry you feel this way about HKA. I respect that this is your view; notwithstanding that I do see HKA differently and I am surprised to read your view. 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 Since I have been at HKA for over eight months I have seen from the leaders tremendous passion, care and improvement actions to benefit HKA employees across the HKA family. I have also observed that colleagues across the globe speak up with their opinions, they 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 all our colleagues is huge and a first priority. We also asked all our colleagues globally if HKA was supporting them sufficiently during this pandemic and the survey results came back 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. Sorry HKA didn’t work out for you. As mentioned above, if you want to talk about your experience and in return I would love to share with you how passionately HKA care about all colleagues – then lets connect. Wishing you all the very best for the future. Kate Wood Chief People Officer

Pros

Brand, market recognition, availability of publications and invitations to marketing events.

Cons

Staff is undermined by Senior Management, who only seek sales and more sales. Performance reviews that "excel" are systematically "re-calibrated" by Senior Management to bring reviews/salaries down.

Thank you for sharing your opinion back in October 2019. I am so sorry that we are only now responding to your views. You will know that HKA has a continuous improvement approach to our organization, and we have recently agreed that every Glassdoor post will receive a reply. We take this action as we respect and value all opinions. Thank you also for everything you have done to help HKA to grow and improve. You are a current employee with over five years service - so thank you so much. I am sad to read that you don't view HKA very positively. Of course HKA has evolved/improved much since October 2019. If you still feel this way, do reach out to me as perhaps I can assist you? Also we have two Continent Heads, in Haroon and Jad who care very much about our colleagues in the Middle East; so always feel free to reach out to them too. Everything we are doing is to make HKA a great place for our brilliant people to work - so I am sad to read that you are not recommending HKA and therefore unlikely to be enjoying your career with us. Do reach out, I can listen and perhaps help you in some way. I do see HKA very differently to you, albeit that I respect these are your views back in 2019. I joined HKA in April 2020, and I experience colleagues who are passionate about our people and our clients. Promoted colleagues have had salary increases and been recognized for their achievements. Our people are staying with us and our people are the difference in HKA. I experience real collaboration and brilliant ideas coming from our people to make HKA even better. I can only hope that you too, have experienced the improvements in HKA and you are enjoying your work and experience with us now. Please do take care, particularly during this pandemic. If you would like to speak with me or email me...I am here to listen and support. My email is katewood@hka.com Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer.

Thank you for posting and sharing your views. Pleased that you enjoy your working from home and the prospect of potential travel. As you know, HKA is a global company and is growing; so more career opportunities are available. I am sorry to read that "the job was not as I expected". Always feel free to reach out to your line manager or regional people team or me to discuss this further. We would want to understand your perspective and try to assist you. In the interim, please do take care of you. Best regards Kate Wood, Partner, Chief People Officer
