español term

banquillo

español al inglés Negocios/Finanzas Recursos humanos
From a presentation in which a bank is outlining its future risk strategy and other coming changes

Metodología de Riesgos Corporativa (universal con aplicación local)
Mayores capacidades de anticipación y predictibilidad basadas en unos Sistemas de Información y Modelos de Decisión evolucionados
Herramientas globales y con un nivel de automatización y escalabilidad que garanticen una mayor eficiencia y calidad
Capital Humano adecuadamente dimensionado y capacitado (***banquillo***, seniority y movilidad)

The only thing I can think of is the sports use of the word - the bench, referring to substitute players who may be called on to replace one of the starting team, so (Bench, seniority and mobility) which doesn't sound very "snappy"

Any other ideas?
Proposed translations (inglés)

Discussion

Charles Davis Jan 30, 2012:
@Helena I've just seen your latest comment here. You can post two answers if you want to (probably even three, though I've never tried that!). I've done it myself once or twice. You get a message telling you not to make a habit of it, but it's certainly allowed.
Helena Chavarria Jan 30, 2012:
I don't think the rules allow us to post twice. I'll add it as a note to my answer.
William Pairman (asker) Jan 30, 2012:
@Helena Perhaps you could post your suggestion as an answer
Helena Chavarria Jan 30, 2012:
@William It sounds fine to me, but you're the boss!
William Pairman (asker) Jan 30, 2012:
Thanks everyone! Helena, I really like your suggestion!

Perhaps "People waiting to step up, people with seniority and those who are willing to move"

Step up is originally a baseball term I think, and it also covers those already working but at a lower level
Helena Chavarria Jan 30, 2012:
How about making it a bit longer, "People ready and waiting to work, people with seniority and those who are willing to move around"
Noni Gilbert Riley Jan 30, 2012:
Available substitutes Brainstorming away!
Noni Gilbert Riley Jan 30, 2012:
Right idea I think you've identified the idea there William (employ people on lower scale jobs but who are qualified to take over a higher level post at a moment's notice if necessary?!), and Helena's suggestion sounds clearer than your own (no offence!), but I am anxious about the register. Something along the lines of reserve, on call, there must be sth?!

I don't know if my suggestion is too informal, or not snappy enough.

You could the translation a bit longer: People waiting to step up, (people with seniority and those who are willing to move around).

Oops, I was writing on my mobile and I've realised I missed out a word: "You could MAKE the translation a bit longer..."

Thank you, although the suggestion is half yours!

Thanks! I was thinking of an imaginary conversation; something along the lines of "my brother moves around quite a bit", meaning he spends six months in London, a year in Liverpool, etc.

Comment: "I think this worked very well as a a phrase People waiting to step up, people with seniority and those who are willing to move I also thought David's suggestion was very good and would have used that too if the expression had been repeated Shame we cant divide points"

future/potential employees, senior employees and mobility within the company

I would be tempted to explain a little more fully to make the meaning clear.
