For creating good office atmosphere or encouraging professional behavior, you actually need someone to care for it… to invest effort in it. Maybe it is too abstract for managers? Or maybe they are too afraid that their results will not be measurable? While, for example, Subversion is either: a) implemented or b) not implemented. Can a clear distinction between good and bad office atmosphere be made? Can you put such result to your future resumes?
