Because individuals in a workplace generally only read what they have to in order to do their job or content that is useful to them, knowing your readers' responsibilities in the organization can help you anticipate their attitude so you can relate or associate your message to your readers' job. This may compel them to read your writing if they know it is valuable to them and content they can act on.
