The
findings show that one in four think their employer shows no interest in
finding out about their career, with half believing their company is no more
loyal than they are.

The research, by career consultant Penna Saunders and Sidney,
also shows that around half would be more loyal to the company if there was
better training, appreciation of their efforts and more chances for promotion.
