Five years ago, the Department of Defense’s office of the inspector general had some of the lowest employee satisfaction rates in the federal government. But since 2013, it’s jumped 20 points in the Partnership for Public Service’s index of the best places to work in government, including more than nine points in just the last year.

The Partnership recognized the OIG as both the most improved IG office in the US government, and the most improved DoD component in the 2017 rankings. Glenn Fine, principal deputy Defense Department inspector general, spoke with Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu about the details behind those improvements on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
