all employees of a company
All the workers in one company or organization.
استعمال کا انداز:
[organization]'s workforce
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "workforces" when talking about one company. In most cases you should say "the workforce" or "its workforce" for a single organization. Learners also mix up "workforce" and "work place"; "workforce" means the people, not the location.
