It depends on how you're using it.

If by 'staff' you mean a group of people (office staff), it is already plural and doesn't need an s after it. Possessive form would be staff's.

If by 'staff' you mean a stick (I'm going to whack you over the head with my staff), then the plural would be staffs. In this case, the singular possessive would be staff's and the plural possessive would be staffs'.

No, the noun 'staff' is a common noun, a general word for a group of people who work for a company or an organization; a general word for a group of officers assisting the officer in command; a general word for a pole, stick, or rod used as a support for walking or as a sign of authority; a general word for a flagpole; a general word for the five parallel lines used to write musical notes; a word for any staff of any kind.

A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing; for example:

  • Jacob Lew, White House Chief of Staff
  • General Martin E. Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Department of Defense
  • Staff Road in Slippery Rock, PA
  • Staff Of Life Inn in Burnley Road, Todmorden, UK

The word 'staff' is also a verb: staff, staffs, staffing, staffed.

Staff is a common noun. Unless at the start of a sentence (as here) or as part of a name or title, it should remain uncapitalised.
