The Retention & Engagement Fix
A focused, data-driven 5-day sprint that gives professional firms clarity on the human risks undermining their success.
Our Retention & Engagement Fix combines quantitative modelling with employee sentiment analysis to reveal where engagement breaks down – and what to fix first.

Data-driven analysis of where your employee experience is breaking down - and for whom.

The Process
Pre-Work (completed before sprint week):
Employee pulse survey deployment
Attrition cost modelling using your HR data
Leadership interviews to understand strategic priorities
5-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.
Final Delivery:
Executive summary, action roadmap, and handover session with your leadership team.

Why the Sprint Delivers Results
Fast, Not Rushed
Five days is enough to uncover what matters and co-create solutions - without the endless discovery phases that kill momentum.
Evidence-Based, Not Generic
We don't bring cookie-cutter solutions. Every recommendation is grounded in your employees' actual experiences and your business context.
Co-Created, Not Consultant-Driven
Your employees and leaders design the solutions together. That means buy-in is built in, not bolted on later.
Owned by You, Not Us
After the sprint, you own your EX journey. We equip you to move forward independently, with ad-hoc support available if you need it.Why elevatehx?
Fast: Results in 5 days, not months.
Employee-led: Insights from your people, not consultant templates.
Commercially smart: Solutions tied to ROI, retention, and performance.
Low-risk: One clear sprint, with optional support if you want more.
