I have always struggled with translating チャレンジ, which has nuances quite
different from the English "challenge". Now I am working on a document which
uses this word to a ridiculous amount, "challenging" my ability to find
appropriate turns of phrase. In the past, I have used "attack", "go up
against", "take on", "move boldly into", "take initiative", and so forth. Here
are some samples:

```

    社員個人や組織のより積極的なチャレンジを応援する
    チャレンジを評価する人事制度改革
    チャレンジしやすい制度に改革すると
    風土づくりにチャレンジする
    
```

Any contemporary English that is appropriate for this type of usage?

Translating チャレンジ
Dictionaries seem to give me "self-challenge" or "trying hard to do
something". Perhaps something like perseverance?

Suggestions:

**Disclaimer** : I am not a translator, linguist, teacher or anything like
that. I am just a regular Japanese speaker walking down the street who uses no
contractions.

社員個人や組織のより積極的なチャレンジを応援する

"endeavors"? "undertakings"?

チャレンジを評価する人事制度改革

"attempts"? "aspirations"?

チャレンジしやすい制度に改革すると

"to try new things"?

風土づくりにチャレンジする

"to tackle"? "to approach"?
