control


Explanation:
Another definition for 締付 is "control."

Not knowing the context in detail, perhaps this is about enforcing control(s).

pressure (as in "put pressure on")


Explanation:
It depends on the context (unusual, right? ;)), but the first translation that popped into my head after seeing this was "Every time the top (top management perhaps?) changes, they force us to put more pressure on the customer (customers?)"
