Spanish term or phrase: que se tienen que emplear de forma innecesaria
In a description of sales management in relation to the IT industry. Context: "...hay recursos de los departamentos de IT y de compras que se tienen que emplear de forma innecesaria." My working translation of this phrase at this point is "one can find resources at IT divisions and the computer departments in stores that one might unnecessarily feel uneasy about using."
Do you agree? Have other suggestions? Thanks for your help.

that are called upon/used unnecessarily
Explanation:
I remember doing this test. The idea here is that the resources of IT and sales may be called upon and this is not time or cost effective.

A literal translation can cause misunderstanding here. Eg translating 'tener que' as 'have to be'...

Hope this helps and good luck.

Explanation:
Could this possibly be a typo? "no se tienen que emplear de forma innecesaria" seems to make more sense to me: "should not be used unnecessarily"
