The complete phrase is: "Each Associate is responsible for the neatness and good order of his or her work area.
While personal momentous are not discouraged." The meaning of personal momentous is is not clear for me because momentous is an adjective. Can you help me?

recuerdos personales

Está mal escrito el original. La palabra debería de ser "mementos", lo cual significa: recuerdos, súvenirs

"momentous" es otra cosa totalmente, y un error del autor. Momentous significa: trascendental, crucial, muy importante

"hechos cruciales / trascendentales en la vida de una persona"

Momentous describes an important event or moment in time. It is used for a time of great consequence or for a major accomplishment, and is almost always reserved for good things. The day Barack Obama was elected president was a momentous day for America.
When a moment is so great you know you'll never forget it, you have just experienced something momentous. It can be personal — perhaps the day you were named prom queen; or something historic — like the day Elizabeth was named Queen of England. Momentous and momentary share the root word moment but momentary describes just one fleeting moment in time. A momentary occurrence can certainly be momentous, but it's not always the case.

Personal momentous= hechos cruciales//trascendentales en la vida de una persona, hechos que marcan su vida (su boda, el nacimiento de su primer hijo, etc.)

RECONSIDERACIÓN
Deduzco que en este contexto se refiere a que, si bien cada socio tiene unas responsabilidades concretas en su área de trabajo, también tiene, cada uno de ellos, margen para el lucimiento personal, para la creatividad, para imprimir su sello personal.

PROPUESTA
Si bien cada socio es responsable de mantener su área de trabajo impecable y en orden, también existe margen para el lucimiento personal / para la creatividad/ para imprimir su sello personal.

En consecuencia, la traducción que propongo para “personal momentous” = “lucimiento personal” /”imprimir su sello personal”
