Be aware that the titles people actually use day to day may not match their official HR titles. Not that I really use business cards any longer but I have basically never used the official title that's in the computer system. (Obviously, you shouldn't just make yourself a VP or whatever but I've always had a lot of latitude to change the title I use within reason.)
That incentive was already there for things like H1B. Or unrelated reasons, like hiring/retention.
