Staff council / personnel committee


Explanation:
Various translations are possible, but these two are the most widely used, followed by employee council/committee. Delegation is not often used in English.

Personnel Committee: Usually a sub-committee of a larger group such as a board of directors, which focuses on personnel issues, concerns, and trends, and advises the larger group, board, or organization of necessary changes.

That should be "chair", or "chairperson", of course.
