One way it would make the average person's life better is that it would reduce the number of times they are forced to choose between illegal activity and their job. Think of the WellsFargo workers. They only way they could make their quota was to engage in fraud. Workers who did not engage in fraud lost their jobs.
Think also about the Boeing engineers who, no doubt, were pressured from higher ups to sign off on faulty designs.
If the higher ups knew that their personal freedom was on the line, they would not pressure workers to do illegal stuff.
Right now, companies come up with incentives that reward illegal behavior which allows the higher ups to profit, while leaving the low-level workers with the criminal liability.
