It also has additional benefits to organizations as monitoring and other technological solutions will only protect the company infrastructure and since an employee can be attacked outside that infrastructure knowledge is something once use regardless of location.

like these. Monitoring is, of course, still a viable solution, but is simply another system that keeps track of another system. Monitoring takes time and resources.

Since the company is, quite literally, protecting its employees, raising simple awareness on the issue can solve many long term concerns that might not be addressed by monitoring. If anything, education can be a cheaper, non-redundant added layer to monitoring.
