Inclusion & equal opportunities

Diversity is our great strength

MACO embraces diversity - regardless of ethnicity, age or gender. The different perspectives and diverse expertise enrich collaboration within the company.

It is this diversity that enables us to remain innovative and adaptable. We therefore create a corporate culture in which everyone can realise their full potential. And help them to seize opportunities.

Women power

Women in industrial companies? But yes. We support our female colleagues with further and advanced training and exciting career opportunities.

From apprentices to top management, women's power is increasing at MACO. A particularly good example? Our Polish plant with a female quota of 75 per cent.

We live diversity

We create a corporate culture that offers everyone equal opportunities.

Generation awareness

Living diversity brings with it great responsibility. After all, diversity in the workforce also means a wide variety of needs and thought patterns that come together in everyday working life.

At MACO, we therefore focus on generational awareness. Not only are managers sensitised to the different needs of different age groups in order to properly support all employees. Online training content is also made available to employees on our e-learning platform.

Family friendly

A bedridden mother, a baby or grandparents in need of care - balancing work and family life is often challenging. MACO supports employees in these life situations. In the last two years, one focus was on the topic of "Care and work", with the main focus on informing and sensitising employees:

Online information material and targeted training for employees and managers
Advice on the options available to relatives of a person in need of care
Training of internal contact persons & specialists
Intensified communication in the form of notices and video messages

Specific measures to make it easier to reconcile work and care range from reducing working hours, partial retirement and parental leave to flexible working time models, home office and comprehensive time-away management. For this commitment, MACO was successfully recertified for the state "Career and Family" seal of approval in 2024.

Restart after sick leave

Helping employees slowly return to work after several weeks of absence due to illness: Part-time opportunities, monetary allowances and retraining programmes help those who have recovered.

In this way, we protect the health of our employees and contribute to the feel-good culture at MACO.

Germany: Doing good

Collecting donations for various charitable organisations (parents of children with cancer, promoting education in South Africa), raising awareness of organ donation among young people, an insect hotel on the company premises - the social commitment at our branch in Helpsen is wide-ranging. It is supported jointly by the employees and the company management.

MACO is one of the Top 10 per cent

Best recruiters

We are looking for people who are a good fit for MACO and our values - and therefore attach great importance to professional recruitment.

And with much success: MACO was awarded silver as Best Recruiter in our industry at the beginning of 2025. Compared to the previous year, we have improved from third to second place in the industry ranking and are among the top 10 per cent of a total of 570 employers surveyed in Austria.
