quality of (the) people

I would use the definite article.

AlpheccaStarsI would use the definite article.

AlpheccaStars, is that what you prefer or is the other correct as well?

AnonymousWe are talking about the people at a certain company.

The definite article indicates you are talking about a specific set of people.
But whether it's required or not depends on the context.

You can use a modifier instead.

The quality of people who work here is very high.

Thank you. We received a directive that says,
"It's an excellent school. The quality of professors is high".
It's clear we are talking about a specific set of people (professors at that school). Yet there are no modifiers and no definite article . . .?

Anonymous"It's an excellent school. The quality of professors is high".

Whether it's required or not depends on the context. There is enough context there. I would use "its professors" though.

Okay, thank you.
