A new survey of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation employees finds that a majority feel safe, valued and respected in their workplace.

The new survey, from the FDIC inspector general, comes as part of the ongoing investigation into long-standing workplace culture concerns. The IG received responses from more than 26 hundred employees out of more than 62 hundred who received the survey.
