Harel Insurance Group Awards 10,000 Shekel Bonuses to 5,000 Employees
The Harel Insurance and Finance Group has announced a special holiday bonus of 10,000 shekels for each of its 5,000 employees. The announcement was made by Group Chairman Yair Hamburger during a festive event celebrating Rosh Hashanah, which also featured a performance by singer Omer Adam.
This company-wide bonus is expected to cost Harel approximately 57 million shekels. The generous payout comes in the wake of the company's record-breaking performance in the first half of 2026, reporting a total profit exceeding one billion shekels.
Harel has a history of distributing significant bonuses, having provided similar payouts in 2015 and 2022. This tradition of rewarding employees is seen as a strategic move by management.
As Harel does not have a workers' union, employees are engaged in direct employment relations with the company's management. The bonuses for the High Holidays are intended to maintain high employee satisfaction, foster loyalty, ensure labor peace, and preserve the current employment structure.
