About elevatehx:
The UK's Employee Experience Specialists
Our Story
We met at a boutique consultancy that aligned organisations behind strategy. Great work, but we spotted a massive gap: companies are completely missing how their people actually experienced work day-to-day.
Lee's time at Sodexo revealed just how powerful workplace experience could be - and how often it lacked design and oversight. Lawrence saw the same pattern in his consulting work: organisations defaulting to one-size-fits-all solutions that failed to resonate with diverse employee needs.
So we founded elevatehx to ensure all employees feel a true sense of belonging, no matter their individual circumstances or where they sit in the company. No more random initiatives. No more hoping for the best. Just systematic, measurable improvements to how work feels for your people.

Our Mission & Philosophy
Our mission is to make work human again. Too many organisations focus on clients, products, or profits while neglecting the people who make it all possible.
We take a different view: the employee experience deserves the same design, care, and intent as customer experience.
We combine human-centred design with commercial pragmatism. Every recommendation is rooted in employee insight and data, and every solution is tested against its impact on Retention and Commercial ROI.
Our Approach
We apply design thinking to the employee experience:
Listening first – real conversations with employees and leaders.
Mapping the employee journey – identifying critical ‘moments that matter’.
Co-creating solutions – engaging employees and leaders to build ownership.
Delivering action – a roadmap with quick wins and long-term priorities.
This approach is fast, practical, and rooted in how employees actually feel and work. The result: immediate buy-in, sustainable change, and measurable impact.
Why We Exist
Professional services firms - especially law firms, accountancies, and consultancies — are under pressure:
High employee attrition and burnout.
Fierce competition for top talent.
Rising recruitment costs that eat into margins.
Disengagement that weakens productivity and client service.
Leaders know the employee experience is a differentiator, but they often lack a fast, practical way to improve it.
Traditional HR consultancy is too slow, too abstract, and too theoretical. By the time a thick report lands, the problem has already shifted.
elevatehx was created to change that.
Our 5-Day Employee Experience Design Sprint provides clarity, insight, and a prioritised roadmap — turning employee feedback into commercially relevant action in weeks, not months.
In just 5 days, elevatehx will help you reimagine your employee experience and unlock stronger engagement, retention, and performance.
