Denotation of people on salary as a "resource" is correct, and I'm even OK with including people in a collective set of varied types of resources. "We just don't have the resources to pursue all possible ideas" and the like is fine.

I'm recommending a terminology change to always call people "people" as it biases your leaders to think of them as special and different from licenses, machines, money, and black boxes. (It's not my idea originally, but I've seen it play out at my company and believe it to be helpful.)
