Today we’d like to introduce you to Miranda Haggerty.
Miranda, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Finding Purpose in Workforce Solutions
I never expected to develop such a strong passion for employee retention and Workforce Solutions, but looking back, it makes sense. People-focused consulting has always been a personal goal—something rooted in my desire to create meaningful impact for both individuals and organizations. Maybe it’s the middle child in me, but I’ve always had a natural inclination to build bridges between people, especially when there’s a disconnect.
I found my niche in Workforce Solutions for high-turnover industries, where helping both employees and employers succeed is not just possible—it’s necessary. It’s become the sweet spot where I can truly make a difference.
The path that led me here started with my own experience as an employee. I’ve worked across a variety of industries. I began with temporary roles, which gave me a front-row seat to different workplace cultures in a short span of time. I later contracted at a large tech company, moved on to manage contractors at another, and eventually joined a home care franchise to improve caregiver recruitment and retention strategies.
These experiences helped me understand the challenges from both sides. It’s tough to manage a team when turnover is high. It’s equally tough to be an employee who feels like they’re constantly starting over because the workplace isn’t meeting their needs.
That’s what inspired me to start Sage Elevation Consulting—to help businesses uncover the real reasons behind their turnover, develop strategies that improve retention, and ultimately create better environments for their teams. Whether it’s a hospital, a hospice, or any other high-turnover industry, my goal is to elevate businesses- one team at a time.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My personal journey to starting Sage Elevation had quite a few challenges. While the individual circumstances are unique to me, trying to navigate the current expectations of today’s workforce seemed commonplace. I found myself at multiple companies I was initially excited to join. But over time, the truth became harder to ignore. The environments were often toxic, growth opportunities were scarce, and the workloads were overwhelming—draining both my energy and my passion. Most of the time, it wasn’t just one issue. It was all of them, layered on top of each other.
For years, I tried to “make it work,” convincing myself I needed more experience, more insight, more something before I could go out on my own. But eventually, I stopped waiting and took the leap.
Launching Sage Elevation has already been met with encouraging momentum. I think it’s a reflection of the moment we’re in: businesses are beginning to recognize the real cost of high turnover, and employees are no longer willing to stay in environments that don’t support their growth or well-being.
We’ve been impressed with Sage Elevation Consulting , but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Sage Elevation Consulting: Expert Workforce Solutions for High-Turnover Industries
At Sage Elevation Consulting, we specialize in helping businesses tackle one of the most costly and frustrating challenges: employee turnover. Whether you’re a new business owner looking to proactively avoid retention pitfalls, or a seasoned leader struggling to keep shifts filled, I’m here to help.
We offer in-depth diagnostics and customized strategies for high-turnover industries like home care, hospice, and healthcare—industries where burnout, staffing gaps, and rapid turnover are all too common.
What sets Sage Elevation apart is our focus on leadership coaching as a core part of the solution. While there are countless retention software tools and consulting firms out there, our approach is deeply personal and hands-on. We don’t just deliver a report—we work directly with leaders to help them become part of the change. Because the truth is, no platform or process can replace effective, human-centered management.
Let’s be honest—have you ever filled out an employee survey and not mentioned that your manager was a major part of the problem? Have you ever quietly planned your exit without saying a word? Exactly.
That’s where we come in.
Our work gets to the root of the real issues—not just the symptoms—and provides actionable leadership strategies for lasting improvement. Once the key retention pain points are addressed, we turn our focus to the full employee lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, and training.
At Sage Elevation, our mission is simple: help businesses build stronger teams by elevating the people who lead them.
