Washington Post implements staff and self-evaluations

According to Poynteronline, commenting on an article on WashingtonianOnline, the Washington Post will require its staff members to add self-evaluations as well as critiques of their management to their annual reviews. A company memo says that the evaluations will offer, "a chance to address work issues with your immediate editors and with the other editors who read all Newsroom evaluations." But the Washingtonian's national editor, Harry Jaffe questions whether anyone will be honest, seeing as they don't want to get into any sort of scuffle with their boss. Could this be the beginning of a new industry trend? Would staff feedback be helpful to editors?
