Hello,
1. Am I wrong to use "I would like to urge all the staff to work in unity" or should I use "I would like to urge all the colleagues to work in unity"?
2. A new colleague join us. Should I use "She is our new staff" or "She is our new colleague"

From my understanding, Staff refers to all employees in the company.
So, for (2) colleague will be the right english.
For (1) I am much confident in the latter.
Correct me if I am wrong. Can someone confirm it?
