Hi,
Here's a small additional comment.
'The staff' refers to all the employees collectively.
An individual employee is 'a staff member', 'a member of the staff'.
In N. America, the word 'employee' is more commonly used than 'staff member'.
For collective references, the word 'employees' is more common than the word 'staff'.
Best wishes, Clive
