aides

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'personal assistants' is the definition.
'aides' can be an answer for 'assistants' (aide is a kind of assistant). I'm not certain of the 'personal' bit.

'fresh ideas' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ideas' with letters rearranged gives 'AIDES'.

'for' is the link.
