Modernization of working practices OR Updating working practices

The above is the most straightforward translation, without knowing more about the context. Other synonyms may sound better in English, depending on the exact context.

I prefer "update" or "updating," but "Modernisation" could also be translated as:
Overhaul
Upgrade
Update
Revamp
Overhaul

"methodes de travail" could be, depending on the context:
employment practices
operating practices
professional practices
labor practices


Peer comment(s):

agree Kateabc : Or perhaps "Update of employment practices" (to keep undate as a noun). Nice work!
