5: Culture
Enable a culture of Open Government. Other Information:
Within the Department of Labor, the Open Government Initiative is being used to frame a much larger discussion about the way
our agencies interact with the American people. From the outset, we viewed this as an opportunity to better focus on our products
and their benefit to the American people. We did not want this to become an exercise in checking an “open government” box,
or adding an additional layer of work for our employees. In our initial focus group sessions, two themes emerged. There was
a genuine passion and excitement about the possibilities of open government to help employees accomplish our mission. This
excitement was often mitigated by an underlying hesitation rooted in a “been there, done that” response to the “next big idea
to change government.”
