# Offer a self-assessment before the review

> In Weplanify, each employee can first answer their own questionnaire; their manager then sees those answers next to each question of the grid.

In Weplanify, the self-assessment is an option of an annual review or an end of mission. Each employee first answers the questions about them, then their manager evaluates them while reading those answers.

## Steps

1. In **New campaign**, choose **Annual review** or **End of mission**, then turn on **Employee self-assessment** ([create a campaign](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.evaluations.campagne?lang=en)).
2. Choose the **Deadline for employees**, before the one for managers.
3. Create the draft, check the people and the questionnaire, then click **Launch the campaign**.
4. Employees with an account get the **Your self-assessment** notification ([what the employee sees](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.evaluations.mon-auto-evaluation?lang=en)). The others go straight to their manager.
5. In the **Follow-up** tab, follow the **Self-assessments received** and click **Remind self-assessments** if needed.

## Good to know

- Employees are reminded 7 days and 2 days before their deadline. The day after, the evaluation goes to the manager, even without a self-assessment.
- The manager, or you from the evaluation panel, can **Evaluate without waiting**: the employee can then no longer answer.
- Questions kept for the manager are not asked to the employee ([the questionnaire](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.evaluations.questionnaire?lang=en)).
- The manager sees the employee's answer under each question, and the self-assessment rating on the left. HR and the employee then see both answers side by side.
- The option is chosen before the launch and does not exist for an end of trial period.
