I am having a hard time determining the correct usage when referring to my staff in a sentence. It includes multiple employees.
Should I say"
Staff were busy this fall or
Staff was busy this fall....
HELP!

In British English, it's not uncommon for staff to be followed by a plural verb. So, "our staff were busy".
In American English, "our staff was busy" is correct.
