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
