Tags are dynamic - as soon as they’re not used on a topic anymore, they’re “deleted”. If you want the tag filter to be populated at all times, you’ll need to have the tags used somewhere. I’d suggest the following:  
Create a number of topics in your #Staff category. If you want 50 tags, with the default limit of 5 create 10 topics. Add the tags to those topics, and you should see the filter populated.
