Spanish term or phrase: equipo humano
Una empresa de informática habla de "nuestro equipo humano". Claro que tendrá otros equipos. El problema en inglés es que no hay otro tipo de "teams" que humanos. This is a little marketing. How do I convey that, since this company is hard-selling its human resources?

agree  Paul Edgar: I would go for "team"...maybe adding "approachable" if you feel it is necessary (and if it makes sense in the context).

agree  Werner George Patels, M.A., C.Tran.(ATIO) (X): I like it - because it is often used in this context; human resources is fine too, but it smacks of "personnel department". Human capital is what you are looking for!

agree  Yolanda Broad: definitely the best way to express this in English, although "human capital" would be the cynical alternative...

staff, personnel


Explanation:
Our helpful staff is eager to meet you and listen to your needs.

"Staff" doesn't have quite the same punch in English as "equipo humano" does in Spanish, but I think it's the best fit for this kind of text. "Our human resources/assets/etc. are eager to meet you" sounds excessively stilted. These terms might be appropriate in other parts of the document, however.
