Because the word ‘staff’ is a collective noun referring to a single group of employees, the appropriate verb is ‘wishes’. You also need to add a word before ‘staff’. For example: “Our staff” or “The staff”.

If you were to say ‘staff members’ or ‘members of staff’, the correct verb would be ‘wish’.

Staff is a singular collective noun so the correct answer is “wishes”.

If, however, you said, “Members of the staff” it would be wish, because “members” is plural.
