簡素 does not describe a change in personality from stubborn to simple. Perhaps '素直 (sunao: obedient, docile)' or '穏やか (odayaka: calm)' would fit.

簡素 can be used for procedures becoming simpler, but the most natural phrasing would be '簡略化 (kanryakuka: simplification)' or '簡単 (kantan: simple)'.

解明 is not used for 'clarifying' income in the sense of proving it. '証明 (shōmei: proof)' or '申告 (shinkoku: declaration)' would be more appropriate.

解明 is too strong for 'exposing' or 'revealing' a scandal. '暴露 (bakuro: exposure)' or '明らかにする (akiraka ni suru: to make clear)' would be more fitting.

ほほえましい is not typically used for news of discharge. '喜ばしい (yorokobashii: joyful)' or '嬉しい (ureshii: happy)' would be more appropriate.

ほほえましい is not used for achievements. '輝かしい (kagayakashii: brilliant)' or '素晴らしい (subarashii: wonderful)' would be more appropriate.

様相 is not used for the process of growth. '様子 (yōsu: state, appearance)' or '過程 (katei: process)' would be more appropriate.

様相 is too formal or broad for 'atmosphere' or 'conditions' of a workplace. '雰囲気 (fun'iki: atmosphere)' or '実態 (jittai: actual state)' would be more appropriate.

交える is not used for 'including' a period of time in a calculation. '含める (fukumeru: to include)' would be more appropriate.

いて (ite) is the te-form of いる (iru), which doesn't create the conditional meaning needed here.

いるため (iru tame) means 'because one is', which implies a reason, but the sentence structure requires a conditional or consequential link.
