Your best people are leaving. We’ll show you why - and how to stop it.
A 5-day diagnosis and solution programme that quantifies what attrition and disengagement are costing your firm, and delivers a clear plan to fix it.
Trusted by law firm and professional services leaders who need answers, not workshops.
The Hidden Cost Crisis
You’re losing top talent. Productivity is slipping. Engagement scores are flat.
But here’s what most firms miss: the financial impact is bigger than you think.
Replacing a senior associate costs 150–200% of their salary
Disengaged employees cost you 18% of their annual pay in lost productivity
High attrition damages client relationships, delays projects, and burns out your remaining team
Most firms know they have a problem. Few know what it’s costing them – or where to start.
That’s where elevatehx comes in.

How it Works
Pre-Work (varies by size):
Employee pulse survey, attrition cost modelling, leadership interviews completed before sprint wee5-Day Sprint:
Day 1 — Listen. We run a pulse survey and conduct employee interviews to understand what’s really driving disengagement and attrition.
Day 2 — Map. We map your full employee journey — from hire to exit — and identify the friction points that are costing you talent.
Day 3 — Design. We co-create solutions with your team. No imposed recommendations — we build the fix together using an impact-effort matrix.
Day 4 - Test. We test out co-created solutions with your actual employees to ensure they're going to hit the mark and generate the impact you need. We'll then prioritise the order in which you should implement these solutions.
Day 5 — Deliver. You get a complete action roadmap, leadership presentation, and engagement heatmap — ready to implement.
