Thank you for sharing your views with us. I note you are a current employee, and I am sad for you that you are not experiencing a great culture. Our culture is collaborative, honest, transparent, and high performing; so I am surprised this is not what you are experiencing. Do feel free to reach out to colleagues, including me to listen and support you and other Partners too. My email address is katewood@hka.com I respect that these are your views, yet the vast majority of our colleagues in HKA see our culture very differently. If we can listen, help and support you, we will. Take care of yourself. Feel free to reach out. Best regards Kate Kate Wood Partner, Chief People Officer
