We hope that the information we have provided on the HR website helps to address the majority of your needs; and that the information is arranged in such a way that you are able to easily access the specific information that you want.
We also recognize that in an institution as diverse and complex as UB, the need for specialized help will inevitably arise. Sometimes you may just need advice from a trusted partner who can help you to manage challenges.
Your Divisional Human Resources Partner should be a first point of contact for both managers and staff. Because the Divisional HR Partner’s mission is to serve employees and leaders across units, they will provide expert advice and a perspective that comes from experience. Divisional HR ensures consistency in the alignment of HR policies – a critical element in a premiere public research university of the 21st Century and a hallmark of a great place to work.
If you need advice about what is required to complete certain HR activities, a hiring practice or dealing with an issue in your department, start with your Divisional HR Partner.
Divisional HR Partners provide consultation and assistance to Administrative Services units to identify/implement HR best practices and contribute to the application of a shared philosophy and consistent application of HR policy across the University.
