Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Working remotely, I wanted to find a way to have engaging wellbeing sessions for colleagues. In the past, we would have run in-person workshops where we get everyone to contribute what is working well, and what would make the work experience even better. This would be for around 50 people, split into 3 groups run every quarter. Using Miro, we use the live note-taking function to get everyone to write on post-it notes, and that allows us to reflect and discuss and makes it a meaningful employee experience

Pros

  • Easy to pick up and use
  • Lots of templates available for inspiration
  • Saved forever, so can reference back without having to save soft-copies

Cons

  • Templates should be easier to edit and amend that are made from multiple components. For example, I only want 1-2 of the boxes from a template but I have to individually select and delete every component
  • Improved engagement with employees
  • Place to store old feedback and refer to when looking at progress
There is available material to review, but it would be helpful to have training sessions that are integrated into the corporate learning platform so that colleagues can get credits for completing them (e.g. as part of 'Project Management' training, get actual lessons on how to use the tools available to us, including Miro)
Easy to access for me but I would say that on average employees need convincing since we need them to log into and create a new account each time. If it was automatically registered to your corporate email you would just need to log in and create a password. Also, to get the corporate benefits you need to request access - but this should default.
Easier to get everyone to have a voice, usually in bigger meetings only the loudest are heard but here you can get everyone's input. Having a central place to have these conversations are really helpful to give employees' trust that you are listening to their views.
