tujuan mulia


Explanation:
I try to localize by predicting the context (human resources) used in these three words: mundane, incremental, lofty.

'Lofty' here means 'noble', 'of high virtue', I suppose.

The translation (localized) may sound as followed:
Alih-alih menetapkan tujuan terkait kenaikan gaji/upah yang sudah lumrah, mereka menetapkan tujuan mulia yang memberanikan orang-orang untuk keluar dari zona aman mereka.

Kindly check the whole context again.
