trusted contractors
Explanation:
You are only an employee if you have an employment contract with the company, however Mitarbeiter also includes contractors, who have a contract with the company, but are not employees. There is probably some kind of declaration/extensive NDA which further commits the contractors. I would also call the "indirekte Mitarbeiter" contractors... or possibly "agents" for "Erfüllungsgehilfen" depending on whether the term is further defined in the text...
