Explanation:
(S) stand for "Sub-", and BU for "Business Units".

In French, you find "Business Unit" untranslated in numerous economic webpages and texts.

However, you can replace it by "division" or "département" if you like, so that you can translate "the staff of all (S)BUs" by: "le personnel de toutes les divisions et sous-divisions"
