I know that company Y does something similar with their artists as part of their yearly reviews, and their artists don't know of anything they could be doing better. As one of them said to me "If I knew what I could be doing better, I'd be doing it."
Feedback can be useful, but I'd be hesitant around structuring requirements for it.

- zck 13y agoPart of the benefit is that setting aside time to talk about what you can do better forces you to think about what you can do better. Sure, some people will think about that without needing prompting, but having a set time to do so is beneficial for everyone else. Additionally, it gets the employee and his or her supervisor on the same page -- "here's what we agreed I would work on, here's how it's going."
