personnel /ˌpə:səˈnel/ n. [总称]人员,员工:engineering and technical personnel 工程技术人员;the personnel department 人事处;the personnel bureau 人事局;the personnel administration 人事管理
[辨析]personnel和staff均有“全体人员、员工”之义。personnel为 pl.名词,如: The personnel are unhappy about these changes. staff主要用于集体可数名词,但英国人也把它用作pl.名词,如:The school’s teaching staff is/are excellent.
