Most integration teams can explain synergies, savings, and EBITDA targets on paper. Far fewer can quantify what is actually happening on the people side of the business after close.

In this episode of the Master Your Merger Podcast, Klint Kendrick sits down with Tom Bradbury, Founder and CEO of Broad-Gauge, to explore how workforce data can move beyond reporting and become a true driver of integration success and long-term value creation.

Tom shares how private equity firms and operating leaders can use decision-ready workforce metrics to uncover hidden risk, reduce attrition, and manage integration debt before it shows up in performance or valuation. Drawing on real client examples, he explains how culture, leadership, engagement, and operational effectiveness can be measured in ways business leaders actually trust and act on.
