Should whats in parenthesis read as is or read "they or their staff". Or even if someone can think of a better way to say this - I would be appreciative. Thanks!

The rest of the sentence includes details about the event they are to attend and other details. I ran out of space to include the whole sentence.

I am sorry for the typo - I do realize that no 's needs to be included on Manager. Thanks for having such keen eyes and being so constructive!

Managers may recommend that they, or their staff, attend.
There is no 's because the Manager is not possessing anything.
The sentence would read better if you finished it by adding "the event" or "the meeting".
Best wishes!

1. Managers may recommend that staff and managers attend.
2. Management may recommend attendance by staff and managers.
3. Manager and staff attendance may be recommended.
4. Recommendation of attendance may be made to staff and managers.
5. Managers may recommend (to staff and fellow managers) attend.
Hope that helps. It could be worded more ways too but watch out for redundancy.

You don't need the apostrophe in managers because you aren't saying something belongs to the managers.
What about
Managers may either recommend that they themselves attend or that their staff members do so.

The correct versions would be
either
The Managers may recommend that their staff attends.
or
It may be under Management's recommendation that their staff attends.
or
It may be recommended by the Management that the staff attends.

No apostrophe s.
Either Managers have the right to recommend their staff
or Managers are free to recommend their staff for participation

"Managers [no apostrophe needed] may recommend their staffs to attend."
Since your are talking in plurals, you are referring to more than one manager. Thus it would be managers and their staffs.
You can say also, "Each manager may recommend that his/her staff member attend (..or be in attendence)"
Good luck to you!

First of all "Manager's" is incorrect. The apostrophe S indicates that it is a possessive noun. You would like to indicate more than one manager, which would be plural. "Managers" is correct.
I suggest the following:
Managers as well as their recommended staff members are welcome to attend.

I would write this as: "Manager's may recommend their staff to attend.

i don't understand what the sentence is supposed to mean? do you mean to say:
managers may recommend their staff to attend?
