From the Interim Associate Vice President for Human Resource Management
SUNY System Administration announced a new SUNY telecommuting policy on August 2, 2021, that may be implemented at the campus level. SUNY’s policy supports telecommuting where it is reasonable to do so, based on the campus’s mission and operational and program needs. The purpose is to support the implementation of telecommuting programs, establish guidelines to clearly articulate expectations, and provide an additional vehicle for employee development while offering campus administration the flexibility to operate a successful telecommuting program and plan for future workforce needs.

The Human Resource Management Office is working with the administration to develop procedures and process requirements related to this new policy. A thoughtful approach is necessary for a successful implementation as we work to maintain Buffalo State College’s strong sense of community, people-centered culture, and collaborative environment.

Buffalo State employees have now transitioned back to their campus work locations, bringing our full community together to begin the next academic year. Employees who are interested in exploring the telecommuting policy are asked to be patient as the college takes the necessary steps for implementation.

The year ahead will be a time of transition for all of us. Just as we have throughout this pandemic, we will continue to adapt to new circumstances together. Thank you for your commitment, resilience, and care for one another during this time.
