The company’s headquarters in North Texas is home to more than 170 employees. Mannatech’s leadership is committed to providing innovative and engaging ways to encourage its employees while supporting the community in which it operates.

“We are very proud of our commitment to our community by encouraging and enabling our employees to participate in their civic responsibilities,” said Mannatech’s CEO and President, Alfredo “Al” Bala. “I believe we are one of the best places to work in the DFW area, and rewarding our employees for voting is just one of the many ways we make Mannatech a fulfilling place to work. Our company is dedicated to community service and making the world a better place through our daily efforts and through our charity arm, the M5M℠ Foundation.”

Employees at Mannatech may ask in advance of election day for a half-day off to vote at early voting sites or can ask for a half-a-day off after election day with proof that they have voted. Proof can be a voter machine ticket or a voting sticker.

“We won’t make it hard to receive the reward for voting, we just want everyone to take time to go vote,” said Bala. “This has been a very well received incentive. Many believe that election day should be a national holiday, but until that day, we will do our part to support our strong democracy, and we hope other companies will follow our lead.”

Mannatech offers a variety of life enriching programs for its employees including generous discounts on its innovative nutritional supplements, health and wellness programs, training and team recreation.
