Because nobody wants to be told to do something without knowing WHY they do it. And employees need to feel needed in the company; if they aren’t being kept ‘in the loop,’ they feel as if they are not considered important. No one is going to care about a company if they feel that the company doesn’t care for them.

I don’t know of anything more demoralizing than not knowing for sure what your boss wants or what is going on with the company.

It works best if the communication between employees and management is both ways, and with few, if any restrictions. If the only communication in a company is pronouncements coming down from management, the company is (1) loosing out on the often valuable input from the employees who are actually doing the work, and (2) reducing morale and performance by doing so.
Finally, if the company can make possible and encourage communications between all of the employees, problems can be solved before they become too large, or avoided all together.
