Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Making HKA a great place for everyone
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) at HKA means involving all colleagues in all opportunities and activities, so everyone gets a fair chance to succeed, while diversity means bringing all types of people to all parts of our business. Our truly cohesive company culture can only be sustained through a commitment to inclusivity and on occasion, this is over other priorities.
We believe the value of our inclusive culture can be measured in how we attract and retain talent and improve our people’s performance. Inclusion for HKA goes beyond a statement of purpose and reflects our proactive and tangible culture.

HKA operates within multi-cultural environments and we have a diverse mix of colleagues from different backgrounds, different skills and different perspectives working across 15 countries all over the world. Our clients equally range from multi-cultural environments. These differences make us stronger, drive and inspire us. We are constantly learning from each other and maintain a healthy curiosity to find out more from people who are different to us. We are a supportive bunch of people who build on ideas and offer encouragement.
At HKA, we not only believe diversity is the right thing to do, it is a business imperative that should be treated the same as any other strategic priority. We are working through a number of impact areas to address underrepresentation, real and perception gaps. ED&I is a priority for us we are committed to addressing, measuring and tracking ED&I goals and targets.
