personnel group

It appears to be the only possibility.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tania McConaghy : I have a feeling that personnel is not appropriate in all employment sectors-- fits well for eg military, hospital etc but perhaps not so well for eg an orchestra, a department store etc// the meaning of staff & personnel may be the same but not the usage

Check the meaning of personnel and staff, eg, in Collins or some other good dictionary. I think you will find that personnel is appropriate. Whose usage are you referring toTania? The question gives no indication of the type of 'personalgrupp' concerned.

Thank you Sven.
neutral Anna Herbst : Personnel group sounds like it could be a recruitment agency or perhaps a Human Resources group. Not my choice.

staff


staff är ett alternativ till personnel. Det beskriver väl alla på arbetsplatsen, dvs gruppen.

skulle kunna säga t.ex. she has been an active member of staff....

Om det är en formell grupp så kanske man kan kalla det för t.ex. staff committee
Peer comment(s):

agree Thomas Johansson : Om en formell grupp: (a) bestående av/som representerar personalen: "staff committee"; (b) som arbetar med personalfrågor: kanske "staff team".
