Japanese term or phrase: 職場風土改革促進事業
Several hits on google, but I am unable to figure out how to render this in English. Has anyone encountered this term earlier?

Workplace improment project/activities
Explanation:
職場風土 is "workplace environment" or "office environment" (assuming this is an office). 改革促進事業 renders something like "activities to promote reformation"...that sounds strange in English, so I would just say something like:

Workplace improvement activities/project (I think the "environment" can be left out without jeopardizing the phrase).
Workplace reformation activities/project.

Something like this.

Kind regards.
