I'm saying this based on a hunch, but I would suggest that you talk to the IT people. My guess is that the active user profile defines the OS-created profile as the active one, instead of the custom one, and that whenever the CPU comes out of sleep mode that's what that user profile forces it to revert to.
IT people are usually smart and capable, but they may tend to think they know more than they do, specially about issues having to do with color management.
One thing seems clear: if the company cares about color-managed workflows, the present situation is (ob)noxious, and cannot be allowed to continue.
