HKA reviews

Thank you for scoring HKA with 4 stars out of 5 and for sharing your opinions as a former employee in Dubai. I realise you posted in July 2018 and I am replying to you in June 2021. Sincere apologies that we are only now replying to you. HKA is a continuous improvement organisation and we recently added replying to every HKA Glassdoor post as we do value opinions and look to learn from them. Thank you for posting positive Pros. You mentioned good support for ongoing education/learning, strong teams that work well together with good mentorship with big and satisfying projects. Thank you. Today, June 2021, we are retaining our brilliant people and we are growing and improving as a global professional services firm - which is very exciting and enjoyable. You noted also some Cons from your perspective. I respect these are your views and of course HKA has evolved and improved since July 2018; so perhaps unsurprisingly I see HKA differently to the list of Cons. My experience is:- - promotions come with decent salary increases and good recognition. We relish promoting talented colleagues and rewarding them - benefits are improving as we listen and consider what our colleagues value - our people are appreciated. We have brilliant people working at HKA who pull together to deliver for clients and for each other. I see leaders recognising and truly appreciating our people. I work very closely with our Continent Heads and our People Director based in Dubai and they passionately care and appreciate our people. I note that you worked at HKA for over three years. Thank you so much for your contributions to making HKA a great place to work. I hope you are well and safe, particularly during this pandemic. I also trust you are enjoying your career wherever you are now. Thank you again. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer

Thank you so much for recommending HKA and for posting a review as a current employee in Doha. Thank you also for everything you have achieved to make HKA a great company with a continuous improvement approach; especially as you have been with us for over five years. Pleasing to read that you think HKA has a good reputation under the Pros heading. As you know, everyone works hard to increase and protect our HKA reputation. Our Clients and our People really matter to us. I am sorry that under the Cons heading you said you feel like a machine being rented out. I hope that since your posting of Jan 2018, we have improved and this is no longer the feeling you have. Always feel free to reach out to your Line Manager, your Continent Head or your People Team member; including myself, if you would welcome talking on this point. I am sorry that I am only now replying to your post. Part of our continuous improvement approach is to reply to every Glassdoor posting, as we value opinions and we can learn from them. It simply takes a little bit of time to catch up! Thank you so much for working with us at HKA. Please keep well and take care, particularly during this pandemic. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer
