If you have employees with enable on your networking gear not following
policies and procedures, that is a management problem, not a technical
one.  There's nothing you can do to prevent someone who admin's a network
device from changing its configuration.

The various ways the company can handle this is by training, clearly
defined *and communicated* policies, and eventually by discipline if
necessary.  If the company is unwilling or unable to enforce reasonable
policy on its employees then my recommendation would be to find a new
company.
