Yep.  If you want them to take security seriously then you need to get 
them to want to be part of the solution.  Threats and mandatory training 
just makes them think that you see them as the problem.

Never mind that getting fired or laid off doesn't exonerate one from 
income taxes.  My worst tax years ever were the two years after I was 
laid off from my last gig.  First, I was on the hook for income taxes 
from my severance and the unemployment checks.  Second, once those ran 
out I took money out of my IRA so I got whacked for the income *and* the 
early withdrawal.
