Add manager review
Managers review the self-assessment and add their own ratings and comments. The final score can be a combination of both.

Link to goal tracking
Connect the review to the employee's goals set in the previous cycle. This creates continuity across review periods.

Set goals for the next period
At the end of each review, managers and employees agree on goals for the next period and record them in the app.
