31st October 2022
HKA announced today that they had signed the pledge to support Soldier On, an Australian not-for-profit veteran support organisation delivering a range of services to enable serving and ex-serving veterans and their families to thrive.
Soldier On runs a Pathways Program which supports veterans throughout their career transition from the Australian Defence Force to help them secure long-term meaningful employment.
By signing the Soldier On Pledge, HKA is making a commitment to provide veteran-supportive recruitment, retention, training and workplace culture.
“This is a true career highlight for me. As a veteran, I am grateful to be able to support this incredibly important initiative. Skills acquired in the Forces are highly transferrable, and we recognise the value they can bring to our team.”
Phil Kienstra, Principal and Head of Integrated Project Services, Asia Pacific
Liz Kane, HKA’s Recruitment Manager for Asia Pacific said, “We employ world-class experts, consultants and advisors to work on some of the world’s largest and most complex projects. We’re a growing team that prides itself on our diverse and collaborative culture and welcome interest from veterans.”
HKA’s People Director for Asia Pacific, Nicky Batt, continued, “At HKA, we’re always working to create an inclusive workplace culture built around connection, collaboration, fun and well being. We have a flexible working policy that allows all of our people to engage their talents in meaningful work that benefits the communities we live in, while balancing their personal obligations. In addition, we will work with veterans to create clear progression pathways and development opportunities that will help them to fulfil their potential.”
HKA is proud to be a part of Soldier On and we look forward to supporting the veteran community.
