The purpose of it is to ensure that the managers and workers have access to the same information. In this way, theoretically, they will be able to agree on the tasks to improve the organization, and everyone will work together in a better-coordinated way. In practice, the same incentives have to applied to managers and workers as well, or else they develop different goals, negating the effect of the shared information.

Define communication principles and standards
Formulated the communications goals of the institution

Run any type of communications event to send out your message Ensure the right people receive the right information at the right time At work, this usually affects the pocketbook or the employee’s benefits. A rule is to provide sufficient information for the employee to be able to answer the question "Why?" Many organizations are now considering a relatively new philosophy called Open Book Management for this very reason. Lack of information often causes more problems than divulging those deep, dark company secrets. Let the worker complaining about his last meager pay raise see where the company’s money went, that expenses may have risen and that profits were down. This will drive an improvement in performance more often than not. Even if your business is completely ethical, you may have good reasons not to share everything with employees. Just provide them with enough information that allows them to draw similar conclusions if they were in your position. The boss who tries to convince his people how important dedication to the job is and then is seen leaving the office at noon every Friday in the summer carrying his golf clubs is not very persuasive or effective. This doesn’t mean you have to do everything your employees do; after all, you’re the boss. You manage; they produce. It simply means that you absolutely must show that if it’s important enough for them to do, it’s important enough for you to support. Communication skills are some of the most highly prized and sought-after skills in business. And they are equally essential at home. Without communication skills we are unable to let others know what we think, feel, or want to accomplish. We are unable to build partnerships, motivate others, or resolve conflict. Studies show that as professionals rise higher in an organization, communication skills become more important, not less.
