HKA is a great place to work, grow and play…this is what our colleagues tell us, so your review is extremely different. I do need to present the correct fact base – we have authentic reviews on Glassdoor and we don’t need to “write fake reviews” as you assert. I am sorry for you that you did not enjoy your time at HKA, that is a shame and certainly not what we want for any colleague. If you want to reach out to me now and you think I can assist then please contact me at katewood@hka.com. I respect that this post is your opinion, notwithstanding that I do see HKA very differently to you and our engagement survey results from our people present a very positive HKA. We had a 92% participation rate in our engagement survey which we were very pleased with. To illustrate why our people are very proud of working for HKA and enjoying themselves – I have picked five questions from our engagement survey and shared the score that covers the points you make in your post. Overall, how satisfied are you working at HKA? Scored 7.9 out of 10 How likely is it you would recommend HKA as a place to work? 7.8 out of 10 I feel like I am given enough freedom to decide how to do my work. 8.4 out of 10 My manager provides me with the support I need to complete my work. 8.3 out of 10 Employee health and wellbeing is a priority at HKA. 8.0 out of 10 I recognize that we are seeing things differently, which is what makes the world go around. Wishing you all the very best for your future. Best regards Kate Wood Partner and Chief People Officer
