Only one-third say they can discuss ideas openly with their employers.

Unloved and Disengaged: Employee engagement in the United Kingdom is lacking,
and poor communication between employers and their workers is the main reason, according to new research. Based on the responses of 750
full- and part-time workers, public relations firm Ptarmigan estimates that as
many as 22 million of Britain’s 38 million workers don’t receive any form of
regular internal communication from their employers. The problem is particularly
acute among large companies. People in retailing, telecommunications and
government feel particularly unappreciated, with about 75 percent providing
negative opinions. Only one-third of employees say they are able to freely
express ideas and views with their employers.
