Leeds-based data consultancy business, The Data Shed, prides itself on being a value-driven organisation, so much so that their values underpin the very essence of what they do and who they hire. But how do you determine the values that set the tone of your entire organisation, and how do you find likeminded people that will truly live and breathe them too? In this week’s episode, CEO & Co-Founder Anna Sutton talks us though her decision to put personal values at the heart of her business and how this translates into The Data Shed’s working practises. She discusses what it means to be a ‘Shedder’ and how to spot the right attributes in potential candidates. We also talk through the challenge of making somebody feel part of a team whilst remote onboarding, balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood as well as the growing Tech eco-system that Leeds has to offer.
