Experience inside the system.
Questions worth taking outside it.

ElevateEm grew from work at the intersection of people, workforce data, and organizational decisions.

Meet Emily.

Emily Hastings, founder of ElevateEm

Emily Hastings is a former Marine Corps officer with more than 14 years of experience in complex organizations. Her work has included workforce analysis, organizational assessment, governance, and technology adoption.

She holds a master’s degree in Manpower Systems Analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School and an MBA focused on Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Her graduate thesis, Motivations to Become and Stay Marine, examined questions that remain central to ElevateEm: what people need from their work, and what makes them stay.

Work that shaped the practice.

Examples from prior Marine Corps service, not ElevateEm client engagements.

Workforce assessment

Developing workforce assessment and reporting capabilities to help leaders connect personnel information with organizational questions.

Governance and organizational change

Examining role clarity, decision ownership, and adoption barriers when an organization’s systems no longer support the work it needs to do.

Why ElevateEm exists.

An organization can struggle to use its people’s capabilities while those same people struggle to see a future there. Examining both experiences can reveal options that a job title or dashboard misses.

ElevateEm brings organizational psychology, analysis, and practical decision support to that work. The aim is a clearer decision, supported by evidence you can examine.
