Thank you for your feedback and sharing your opinion. Firstly we appreciate all you have achieved for our Clients and HKA in the circa six years you worked at HKA – thank you. We wish you well in your next step. Thanks so much for saying “Great people…” – we totally agree with you. HKA does have great people, truly excellent colleagues with world-class skills and the culture is one of collaboration. Thank you again for helping HKA to evolve this strong culture. We note your Cons and thanks for giving your view. We see these areas slightly differently to you, yet your feedback encourages us to keep improving of course:- 1 We try hard to ensure recognition/positive feedback happens when things go well. 2 We are focussed on our People, our Clients, and also our Business Performance…these three strategic areas are entwined and work well together to benefit everyone. Thank you again. Good luck going forward. Best always, Kate Partner, HKA’s Chief People Officer

Pros

- Upward mobility for high performers and not subject to strict "can only get promoted at 2yr intervals" nonsense. If you're good, they promote you - Casual vibe, easy access to management - Good pay

Cons

- Not respectful of your time. You won't be putting in consistent 70hr weeks but there will be times they demand you cut your vacation short or change travel plans. C-suite operates on their own weird schedules and demands you do the same; if the president is working from 4-11pm that day, you have to stay until 11pm too, even if you got in at 9am

Thank you so much for the four stars and headline “Good Company…” Thank you also for all you have done to contribute to HKA’s ongoing growth and success. We note you are a former employee, so we wish you all the very best in your next step. We appreciate all of your feedback. Thanks for your list of “Pros” – we particularly noted your comment about “Upward mobility for high performers…” – as we are building excellence and we have a high-performing culture, we are happy for you that you experienced this positive environment. We know that working in a global professional services firm that cares about its Clients and its People hours may be unusual. Of course, we continue to improve to get a better work-life balance, as HKA is a People Business and it makes sense to keep looking after our People who are at the very heart of all we do. We continue on our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion journey…so we know there is still more to do here. Pleasingly, in our annual global employee survey, our score for this question was 8.3 out of 10, with an 89% participation rate:- “HKA supports ED&I” And 8.6 out of 10 for “At HKA, people of all backgrounds are accepted for who they are” And 8.1 out of 10 for “ I believe HKA is a diverse workplace”… …always more to do personally and collectively on ED&I in the world and HKA. Once again, many thanks for sharing your feedback. Wishing you all the very best. Keep in touch, please. Best always, Kate Partner, HKA’S Chief People Officer

Pros

Best part of the company is the flexible working arrangement.

Cons

Low pay progression. Any other drawbacks depend on who you work with.

Thanks so much for sharing your views and of course for continuing to work with us at HKA for over four years. While these posts are anonymous, we know the value of our people…so thank you for everything you have contributed to HKA over the years making us successful and growing. Great to read that you value the hybrid and flexible working arrangements we have in HKA. Sorry to read that you are experiencing “low pay progressions” – always feel free to reach out to me or your regional people team as we can seek to understand and offer you some ideas to move this further forward too. We appreciate that these are your views and everyone has a right to be free with their opinions. Thank you for sharing your views. The views from the vast majority of our people are that HKA is a great place to work…having said that we are not complacent and we continue to look to improve and grow globally too. Thank you again. Best regards Kate Kate Wood Partner, HKA’s Chief People Officer
