In the second example, I think cambió/mejoró todo would work. Or, maybe something like this would work:
Su cambio de actitud transformó el ambiente en el trabajo.
Cuando cambió esa vaina que tenía las cosas cambiaron por lo mejor
en el trabajo.
I think vaina is a word used by people from the Dominican Republic.
A common modismo is No sigues con esa vaina. It means, please change
the subject/please change that attitude.
