Thank you for sharing your view on HKA as you posted as former employee. Your post is important and deserves a reply; albeit we are slow to reply – sorry. I joined HKA a year after your post. I am HKA’s Chief People Officer and together with colleagues across the globe we are continuously improving HKA. 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. I note you are a current employee in London and have been with us for over 5 years. I really hope you are still at HKA now; as I trust you will be feeling the positive improvements we are making. I know at the time you posted you felt we were “worried more about fees that staff” – I really hope during 2020 you have experienced the passion and priority we have for our brilliant people at HKA. Since I have been at HKA for over eight months I have seen tremendous passion, care and improvement action for our HKA employees. I have also observed that colleagues across the globe speak up with their opinions that 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 our colleagues is huge and a first priority. We also asked all our colleagues globally if HKA was supporting them during this pandemic and the survey results that came back were extremely positive. Delighted that you felt HKA had “good pay, benefits, some good people”. I totally respect these are your views. I am really sorry you thought “if your face doesn’t fit your toast” – that really saddened me. Currently, I do know we are very focused on equality, diversity and inclusion. We do value different colleagues as we know that it is simply the right human approach while it also makes our business stronger. We continue to work hard to embed our ED&I actions. Thank you so much for posting your views. Fingers crossed you feel we have improved since you posted in May 2019. Always feel free to contact me directly in HKA. Thanks. Do keep well. Kate Wood, Chief People Officer

PLEASE STAY AWARE IF YOU ARE A WOMAN

Pros

No relevant for this warning.

Cons

I strongly advise any woman that they should not accept a job at HKA. The company has a serious problem with older men behaving sexually inappropriately towards younger women. There is no confidence in HR to sort this and it is often ignored.

My name is Kate Wood and I started as Chief People Officer for HKA in April 2020. I am very sad to read this April 2019 post on Glassdoor and despite the time difference, this post is important and deserves a reply. At HKA, if any complaint was made about anyone’s behaviour we would conduct an independent and thorough investigation. We would then review the findings and put in place any appropriate actions including development or, if appropriate, disciplinary action, including dismissal. We continue to make improvements regarding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within HKA. From my experience to date, HKA does employ brilliant women and brilliant men and together we continue to grow HKA while ensuring, regardless of any diversity characteristics, everyone has an equal opportunity and is treated with respect. If the person who posted this in April 2019 would like this matter investigated, please do contact me in confidence – here is my email address: katewood@hka.com

Great Culture and HKA global

Pros

the business has a great company culture and truly believes in the investment and development of it's staff.

Cons

Being a medium size business I think they could get more input from the staff to get everyone more brought into an initiative, values, processes etc.

Thank you so much for recommending HKA and saying we have a "great culture". Thank you for all you have done for HKA to help us continue to improve and work hard to be a great place for our brilliant people. I do agree with you that seeking feedback from our people is essential and helps to ensure we address areas for improvement and respond to the needs of our people. I am sorry I am only now replying to your post, which you sent in Feb 2019. One of our continuous improvement programmes now includes replying to all Glassdoor postings, as we do value opinions from everyone. Please keep well especially during this pandemic. Thank you again. Best regards Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer
