Hi @joseph E
According to your shared image, it seems that your organization administrator set the label policy from https://compliance.microsoft.com/informationprotection?viewid=sensitivitylabelpolicies in Microsoft Information Protection.
I suggest you find the administrator have a confirm, login into the webpage above, select a label policy that created.
Then click “Edit policy” > “Settings” > Check the “Require users to apply a label to their emails and documents” and other options in following image are selected.
