Portuguese term or phrase: um social aprimorado

Hi all,

I'm translating an employee satisfaction survey for a corporation and someone has written "um social aprimorado" under the question: "What is one thing the company could do to make it a better place to work?"

What could "social" be referring to here?

Thank you!

a social revamping

Explanation:
This is how I would translate it, even though the answer is not clear at all, in my opinion. I think only the respondent probably knows what they mean by that.

"In general, measures that conserve social stability are desirable, but as Ayres pointed out, this historic bias in societies, without which they could not exist, militates against constructive technological progress and social revamping."

YouTube has been the property of Google for a good number of years now, but as its parent company reaches out for improved sociability and “sharing” features, the famed democratizing broadcaster of video content still has some maturation to undergo.
