Businesses face challenges that might affect them considerably. One puzzle though is if a business organisation should let it's staff members know that it is facing challenges. On one hand, it could help to manage the expectations of staff. On the other hand, it could affect the morals in of staff in the organisation.

What do you think should be done?

If it is operation-related, they should know the current situation of a company. Although it is still the owner's discretion if they want to disclose the other related business problems of the company.

Of course, the employees must know the problems a company may be facing with. The company needs needs the concerted efforts and the employees if they want the company to exist.

Regular meetings are normally held not only to inform about the poor or good performance, that is the time suggestions are also taken.

You have to understand how to manage crisis as a business person and discern which of the business problems is suitable to be shared with the generality of staff.

Every staff, including the lowest level staff such as watchman, has the rights to know what's going in the company

I think if it is a business challenge that would have a direct effect on the staff, they should get to know about that particular business challenge.

For me l see that one as a very good idea. This brings us to the point of being transparency on the business company.

Yes it is the duty of the company to let them know what is happening, especially when it is related to their fate in the company.

It is not everything that you let staff know. There are some things happening in the business which should be managed at top management level.

There are certain things that if staff should know know would kill their morale. Something like a business being in huge debts should be managed at top management level.

I believe I would stick to a good boss even if the business has issues and I know about it. Emphasis on "good boss".

There is nothing that is wrong with staff knowing the challenges the organisation is facing. They may even be able to proffer solutions.

Once they signed the contract with the company, they accepted the current situation of this particular company. It is a matter of being hired to face these business challenges.
