A solution to this situation could be to force structured businesses with a certain base of revenues and employees to freely allow their employees to invest in the company and sell those shares in a public secondary market. Most countries have already complex accountacy regulations and public registries even for smaller businesses.

What size, though? Are we talking 10 employees, 1000? Just curious.
structured business could mean any business where work and departments are specialised (HR,administration, C-suite, sales, production) and the business has a book value or terminal value of discounted cashflows. Contrary if the founders and "early" employees "wear many hats" and are the difference of daily success or bankruptcy you dont have a structured business. Realistically most company above 50+ employess feel the necessity to structure themselves.
