I think that while it would work, it can also be achieved through communication between the lower and upper classes of a business that operates on hierarchy. The increase in communication can really ease the friction of mobility to the top (or to the bottom). With this, it is important for the higher ups to not only be hearing the ideas of the lower ranks, but that they listen to them as well. It allows for people to be more happy about their work conditions, which increases their productivity since that would likely be the key subject of their thoughts on the company, which benefits the company. It also deconstructs the echo chamber that a lot of people at the top might find themselves in, although that might not apply to companies with very narrow typecasting hiring policies.
