In this context, NIST will continuously improve internal communications, strive for clarity and transparency in all organizational decisions, encourage innovation through cross-organizational interactions, and provide every available resource needed to sustain a highly motivated, high-performance workforce. To achieve its 2010 mission, NIST also will reinforce high levels of knowledge sharing and teamwork by using best practices in performance management and organizational development.
