Seems like you just identified the issue. You're right, of course, that the "invest in employees" approach doesn't work at companies that have a corporate policy to not invest in employees.
Investing in employees is a top-down strategy, not a bottom-up one. If there isn't support for it at the top, then you're right, it won't work.
