The people who make a company run, minus the suggestion that they're human.
means The collective workforce of an organization, or the department that manages, hires, and files them.
from From French 'personnel,' a 19th-century military term splitting troops (the people) from materiel (the stuff), so armies could budget both.
Twin wordPersonnel pairs with materiel: people versus equipment.
RebrandedMostly renamed 'Human Resources,' which sounds even less human.
French rootsBorrowed wholesale, accent and all, from military French.
