My employer does this. Some people laugh about falling for every single one.

My employer does this as well. Even though I have been on the internet since the early 1990s, I still fell for one. There is just no way around it, if you process 300 emails a day you are going to slip once or twice. The human brain just works that way.
I think they have other mitigation strategies. Like probably quietly installing extra scanners on the email of the most "problematic" people who open anything and forward chain letters constantly.

I worked somewhere where we received a yearly Christmas bonus of some maximum amount reduced by various factors. Maybe the threat of loosing 10% of some yearly bonus for: "fails to meet security standards" would work well as a deterrent.
