Maytronics sees its employees as strategic partners and an essential part of its core business, as well as the key to the company's success. Employees are the people who made it possible and allowed Maytronics to become the world's largest supplier of robotic pool cleaners. Therefore Maytronics is committed to the development of its employees and to providing them with an appropriate and responsible organizational culture, with high standards of welfare and well-being for their benefit. The Human Resources section, in collaboration with line managers and senior management, is responsible for overseeing all aspects of working conditions. At Maytronics, we are committed to the mutual respect and dignity of our employees in order to maintain a robust work environment that provides protection and respect for employee privacy and reputation.

Employees may submit anonymous complaints or inquiries about any matter and receive a response within a reasonable amount of time.

Employee Welfare and Well-being
At Maytronics, we want every employee to know how much they matter. Throughout the year, we celebrate all holidays, organize team-building activities and company events, give presents on holidays, birthdays and pivotal moments. We make sure that all employees are satisfied with their jobs and show our appreciation of their hard work. However, we are also compassionate towards personal problems, provide health and mental support, and are present during the rough times.
Since 2014, Maytronics has purchased a collective health insurance program that fully covers all permanent employees. In addition, Maytronics addresses the matters of employee's health and safety with extreme caution. By that, we provide our employees safety trainings and instructions. In addition, we perform analysis of safety risks at work in order to determine safety conditions in the manufacturing units and prevent them from happening in the future.
A Safe Place to Be Heard – Several mechanisms have been put in place for employees to share any work-related questions or raise concerns. Employees can contact designated HR representatives located in every department, or submit anonymous complaints through Maytronics' internal communication system, "A Place to Be Heard". The HR department is responsible for handling all issues and complaints raised by employees.
Training and Development Programs
We work hard to empower our employees and promote personal and professional development at work, by providing a variety of training and development programs. Programs range from general training sessions for new employees regardless to their position, to individual coaching by professional external consultants for managers and senior employees. Furthermore, we have built several promotion and career advancement paths, to create a system that both meets the needs of the organization and of the employees, and takes into account employees' goals and ambitions.
When employees are facing a crossroads in their own career, we provide them with personal guidance. Employees, according to their conditions and the company's needs, are eligible for scholarships and vacation days to successfully finish their academic studies.

In the past two years, we have donated over $230,000 to organizations that empower people with disabilities and encourage health and wellness. Furthermore, in 2022, our employees volunteered over 120 hours through HELPI, a volunteering platform that allows employees to choose where and how they would like to spend their hours giving back to the community. We further support social businesses that hire disadvantage populations, by purchasing holiday gifts for our employees.
In March, we celebrated the "Do a good deed" day, where Maytronics employees volunteered in women shelters and homes for people with special needs, andrenovated and painted homes, and cooked food for those in need.
