I think this is not completely uncommon.

I heard that the younger generations in Japan are not as interested in these customs and therefore the use of traditional manners is fading. A number of companies have started etiquette programs for the younger employees

Everything has to be put into context thou', elsewhere in the world many companies have guidelines for conducting business too.

Some stuff may sound silly outside the company like 'be the brand', my personal favourite is 'Data quality rock star' (well, this one sounded silly even inside the company), I certainly have a number of complimentary t-shirts from past jobs to prove it. Personally I think the have no place use than gardening, fence painting or shoe cleaning.
