'all right' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'elite force it's brought up inside workplace' is the wordplay.
'elite force' becomes 'sat' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'it's brought up' becomes 'raised' ('raise' can be a synonym of 'bring up').
'inside' indicates the central letters.
'workplace' becomes 'factory' (type of workplace).
The centre of 'raised' is 'is'.
'sat'+'is'+'factory'='SATISFACTORY'
