Almost none of them budget for whether the operating team can actually execute against that plan. A manager who can't retain their best people, a leadership bench that can't absorb a bolt-on acquisition, a culture that quietly resists the changes a new operating partner is trying to drive — none of it appears in a diligence deck, and by the time it shows up in the numbers, it's already cost you a year of the hold period.
Increasing workforce emotional intelligence is one of the more reliable, underused levers against exactly this kind of leakage — not because it's soft, but because retention, execution and change adoption are downstream of it.

Every conversation about workforce investment comes back to what the business is worth. Three of these levers move EBITDA directly — the fourth moves the multiple you exit at.
Grace's flagship Workplace EI programme drives a typical +20–25% engagement lift (~3× ROI) — and it's engagement, not a training-completion record, that predicts who stays. At CHF 195k–290k to replace a Swiss manager, that's EBITDA back on the table.
