Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) isn’t just about compliance – it’s a proven way to build stronger, higher-performing teams. When everyone comes from the same background, ideas stay narrow, blind spots remain, and innovation stalls. Bring in different perspectives, and you open the door to better problem-solving, smarter decisions, and stronger collaboration.
The value of different perspectives
Teams with diverse lived experiences – culturally, socially, and professionally – are more resilient and adaptable. They challenge groupthink, bring richer insights to the table, and spot opportunities that others miss. Research consistently shows they outperform more homogeneous teams over the long term.
Why EDI needs to start on day one
In this video, Nichola Davies, Manager at Headstar, explains why EDI shouldn’t be an afterthought in senior finance hiring. She shares how building it into your hiring strategy from the outset can strengthen your team’s culture, performance, and trust – not just tick a box.
