Cut back personnel (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retrench

(Other definitions for retrench that I've seen before include "Reduce expenses" , "Reduce, say expenditure or operations" , "Economise, cut back" , "Make economies" , "Introduce economies" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
