University of Southern Queensland welcomes new head of School of Business in webinar tonight

The University of Southern Queensland is welcoming a new head of School of Business, with their vision for growth and innovation to be unveiled at a webinar tonight.

COVID-19 has changed the face of employment in Australia, shifting workforces and opening up a global, virtual talent pool.

This ‘new normal’ is the focus of the University of Southern Queensland’s new head of school and dean of business, Professor Lan Snell.

“The labour market is not the same as it was in 2019 - the world has transformed,” Prof. Snell said. “There has been a migration of employment patterns: workers no longer tied to an office have made sea changes or tree changes, and many expats have returned to our shores.

“The upswell of online work has also levelled the playing field, giving regional universities the same global platform as any other education institution.”

Professor Snell will present a webinar on the topic through USQ Alumni tonight (August 17). She has more than 20 years of leadership experience across academia and professional services, having led transformational change across three business schools: Charles Sturt University, University of Technology Sydney and Macquarie Business School.

“Looking ahead, enterprise skills such as communications and teamwork will be even more critical in setting people up for work in a post-COVID workforce,” Prof. Snell said. “We must develop our muscle to be adaptable to compete.”
