A company or other property owner has the right to take whatever action they desire on hteir property such that it does not harm others. The owner does have a responsibility to reasonably provide for the safety of those it invites onto its property, and if it deems the presence of weapons to be a hazardous condition for others on the property, then it is not only allowed, but probably obligated to take measures to mitigate this risk.
As for enforcement, its not unlike internet porn. No, not all employees will obey company restrictions, but by having it as policy, all employess are aware that it is not acceptable, and should an incident occur, the employee can not claim push responsibility to the company.
The fact that the NRA wants to attack a company for exercising their property rights in a way that harms noone, and possibly enhances their employees' safety, just further shows how far off the charts this group is as they steadfastly oppose any rational compromises to allow weapon ownership, but mitigate the dangers presented by such ownership.
