This cannot be stressed enough. Often I see managers talk about Sharepoint or some wiki type tool within the company but then the culture of documentation is missing.
The best case scenario I found was in a bank. Each line of code was documented and rationale explained in plain english. This way hypothetically even a newbie could run the system.
While different places have different issues, I found that the quality of documentation was inversely proportional to people's insecurity about their job. More insecure they were about their job. More resistance to documentation was found.
