Italian to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / report on bank's personnel
Italian term or phrase: quadri (as opposed to dirigenti)
The dirigenti are listed first, then the quadri, and finally the impiegati. It may mean "quadri intermedi: il personale tecnico e i capi che, nella gerarchia aziendale, si collocano tra i dirigenti e i dipendenti." (Gde Diz. Garzanti) But how do you say that in English? Middle managers? Overseers & technicians?

agree  Grey Drane (X): or you could gloss over the "supervisors" aspect and go with "middle management" for the sake of brevity

officers


Explanation:
Directors, officers and clericals are the terms normally used in US banks. Although "officer" sounds like there could be some statutory requirements, this is not the case in a US bank. It merely means that the person can sign certain types of letters.
