What was Miro’s challenge?

What did Miro do differently to improve talent retention?

Miro’s philosophy is that coaching should be accessible to all, not just executives. The company partnered with Sharpist to launch their targeted coaching program, leveraging their deep understanding of their own culture and need for trust rebuilding.
So instead of a generic rollout, they:
Focused on “culture amplifiers” and those most impacted by change.
Offered coaching as a personal benefit, not a requirement.
Used one-on-one invitations to build trust and make participation feel supportive, not corrective.

Personalize support: Identify key influencers and offer tailored coaching as a benefit.

Involve managers but let go: Get buy-in, but let employees own their development.

Why invest in talent retention during transformation?
