Morphology

restaffing = restaff (transparent) = re + staff + ing

This is a regular noun formation from the verb 'restaff', meaning the process or activity of staffing again.

Etymology

Restaffing comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again', like in redo, and the word staff meaning 'a group of workers', so it literally means putting the staff together again. That's why restaffing is the process of hiring new people to replace or add to a company's team.
