- Synonym: Belegschaft
- 2010, Der Spiegel[1], number 46/2010, page 96:
- Fachkräftemangel ist kein düsteres Zukunftsszenario mehr. Vor allem in Ostdeutschland ringen Firmen schon heute um Personal.
- A lack of skilled workers is no longer a dark future scenario. Primarily in eastern Germany, companies are struggling for employees already today.
- (informal) Short for Personalabteilung (“human resources”).
Usage notes[edit]
- The plural is attestable when referring to different companies: die Personale beider Firmen (“the staffs of both companies”). Even in this context, however, it is usually avoided; Belegschaften or simply Mitarbeiter will be used instead.
