Rod; workforce (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staff

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'rod' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'workforce' is the second definition.
(both can mean a group of workers)

(Other definitions for staff that I've seen before include "Administrators etc - stick" , "the general's assistants recognised" , "Rules needed for scoring" , "something orchestra member may look at" , "Walking-stick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
