The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to Talent Management in universities. From new teachers' skills requirements, to complete organizational and cultural change, these changes are most likely just a starting point for Universities' real transformation potential.

In this podcast episode, we dove deep into this topic and discussed with Frank Ziegele, Director of CHE Centre for Higher Education, the changes and opportunities that COVID-19 brought to Talent Management in Universities.

Some of the key takeaways from the conversation include:

• Recruiting needs now focus more on teachers' skills, with universities placing a greater emphasis on digital skills.
• Opportunities for more diversity in hiring, as universities are no longer limited to hiring candidates who are local or willing to relocate.
• An increase in the relevance of universities' third mission
• The importance of employer branding and employee fit, as universities compete for top talent in a disrupted job market.
• Cultural change caused by remote work, requiring universities to adapt their cultures and management practices to support and develop their employees in a remote work environment.
