About Enerflo

Enerflo is a fast-growing software company that helps solar installers and sales organizations streamline their operations — from lead to install. With a fully remote team of ~150 employees across the U.S., Enerflo needed a way to maintain a strong feedback culture through a new review process and to be able to use them uncover emerging leaders across departments.

The Challenge

Before WorkStory, Enerflo was doing what a lot of growing companies do: trying to give feedback in the moment through Slack shoutouts or quick conversations. But they lacked a centralized, structured system to capture and track that feedback over time — especially the kind that fuels team member growth and leadership development.

“We didn’t have a consistent place for feedback. We’d use Slack, give shoutouts, talk to people… but it wasn’t organized. And nothing was prompting us to keep at it.”Brent Thurgood, Head of People at Enerflo

The Solution

  • Create a repeatable feedback process with smart prompts and thoughtful questions.
  • Collect real-time input from teammates through tools they already used — Slack and email.
  • Encourage honest feedback and make it easy to spot potential leaders early on.
  • Empower managers to hold more meaningful conversations with their team.

Brent and the team embraced WorkStory’s lightweight but powerful approach — letting the platform nudge the right people at the right time, so feedback became part of the day-to-day, and so reviews were no longer a once-a-year headache.

“It gave us a consistent flow of good questions and good prompts that led to greater conversations about performance.”

The Results

Enerflo’s team of ~150 has now shared over 5,400 pieces of feedback — most of it captured effortlessly through Slack and email. That volume of information has transformed their performance review process into a faster, more human conversation, built on real data collected throughout the year.

“Now we have a system that’s trackable, easy to manage, and incredibly well supported. Honestly, the simplicity, the support, and the price — it’s been outstanding.”

Why It Worked

  • Easy to adopt
  • Low lift for busy teams
  • Customizable templates and workflows
  • Strong customer support
  • Affordable pricing for growing companies
