Management Structure
HOW WE DELEGATE
Below is a chart of our companies management structure. At Nova Life, even though we have a small amount of employees, we still strive to keep everyone organized and on task, so that minimal time, money and resources are wasted.
At Nova Life we pride ourselves on our working environment and culture. Our limited number of employees allows professional and meaningful co-worker relationships to be created. We believe that these relationships are vital to the success of our company because it allows our employees to better understand the personalities and working habits of those that they work with. In turn this allows our employees to learn who they enjoy working with and who they get along with the best. This connection of personality and working style boosts attitude and productivity in our working environment. Moving on to our facility we have a comfortable and inviting work space, that is an open floor plan to enforce the sense of community and to allow ideas to be shared among employees. If some of our employees need some quiet they can utilize one of our shareable work rooms, also useful for meetings and for small collaborative projects. We also have an inviting lunch / lounge area for our employees to disconnect from their work during their brakes and so they can have a change of scenery.

COMMUNICATION PROCESSES
In a company where all of our products ideas are created by our employees we like to enforce teamwork, so one of our key communications processes is using our open floor plan office space to share ideas and thoughts around the room while creating products. If our employees feel that they work better alone, when it is not imperative that they be working with other employees, they are able to use our shareable work spaces that give them the quiet and solitude they need. Every Monday we have a meeting with the intent of any employees to voice any ideas, concerns or any other topics they would like to talk about so we know how the business is doing and so we stay in the know of how our employees are doing with their projects and so we know as soon as possible about problems. We always make sure that we take any feedback from employees very seriously to keep our employees happy and to make sure that the company is working to its full potential.
CONFLICT STRATEGIES
Unmanaged or poorly managed negative conflicts can generate a breakdown in trust and loss of productivity. At Nova Life the first way we look to avoid negative conflict is to utilize our communication processes, as talked about in the above paragraph. Use of effective communication stops conflict arising from the anxiety and stress of not knowing what they are suppose to be doing or not understanding their tasks correctly. We also use our weekly Monday meeting to help with communication. During our meetings we make sure to voice the concerns of our staff to make sure that nothing goes unsaid and to make sure that all of our employees know what their tasks are for the week. These two strategies help to reduce stress and anxiety in our work space, in turn stopping most major negative conflict from ever presenting itself. Of course some conflict is positive and we use this to boost creativity in our art department. Allowing employees to share ideas can sometimes spark conflict, but this process allows kinks to be worked out and allows better products to be created with multiple heads working on one project.
