      Pros

      Nice Colleagues Diverse & Inclusive Opportunity to Progress

      Cons

      Support Staff hugely under resourced and expected to work long hours. Inconsistent treatment between fee earners & non fee earners. Poor Salary and increases. 3% yearly increase being described as ‘Exemplary’.

      Thank you so much for writing "nice colleagues, diverse and inclusive and opportunity to progress". Thank you also for saying "going in the right direction..." I notice that you no longer work with us at HKA. Thank you for all you have done to help HKA improve. Wishing you great success in your next chapter. If you would like to talk with me to try to assist in any way, please do - my email is katewood@hka.com and then we can set up a meeting so I can listen and go from there. In terms of your points for improvement, which I respect are your opinion, I share some thoughts in response: - "Support Staff hugely under-resourced and expected to work long hours" - we constantly look at our organizational design to make sure we serve clients well and support our people to enjoy their work and to protect their health. If any area has concerns about their workload, we will seek to understand and make improvements "Inconsistent treatment between fee earners & non-fee earners" - I do see this differently to you; albeit I accept this is a general statement rather than a specific challenge. In HKA we know it takes a team to deliver and all of our colleagues are vital to us. We also recognize that our fee earners do have the ultimate accountability to win work and deliver to external clients; so this is a huge responsibility - albeit I can not point to an example of how fee earners get better treatment than non-fee earners. Speaking as a non-fee earner - I only see HKA working collaboratively together to enjoy our work and to improve HKA too. We see this point differently. Thank you for your Advice to Management "Focus more on employee well-being" - I totally agree with you. Our number 1 priority is the health and well-being of our people, particularly during this pandemic. Feedback is very positive from our people on this important topic and we are always keen to listen and improve further too. Thank you for sharing your views. Wishing you all the very best for the future. Best regards, Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer

      Heading in the right direction

      Finance manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The finance function is strong, with great people who work collaboratively to produce a genuinely supportive environment. Work life balance is good, and finance management have been fantastic during the COVID period in exercising their duty of care to their staff. The business has taken a big step forward over the last two years in terms of inclusivity and diversity.

      Cons

      Some system and process issues but nothing you wouldn't expect in a business that is scaling rapidly. The pension is unfortunately below average.

      Thank you so much for saying "Good Company" about HKA and for recommending HKA, this is especially valued as you are a current employee and have worked with us for over three years. We appreciate your views and are delighted that you can see the progress we are making to continuously improve HKA. Thank you also for everything that you do to make HKA a great place to work - we are in this together! I understand your point about requirements to be promoted being unclear. We are committed to enhancing how we handle all people matters and this is an area that sits under Learning, Development and Succession (LD and S). I agree with you that we can do better with LD and S. We have some positive news to help us on this improvement journey coming in the next few weeks; which we will share with our people internally first of course. Thank you again for sharing your views and more importantly for everything you do for HKA and with us all. If you would prefer to ever talk directly with me, you are most welcome. Keep well. Best regards Kate Wood Chief People Officer and Partner
