Builders Mutual

A Collaborative DEI Strategy Leads to Higher Belonging Scores

TDM is always flexible and willing to try new things with us. We’ve brought in other vendors before, but no one comes close to the level of detail and customization that TDM provides.

Builders Mutual, based in Raleigh, N.C., is a leading provider of insurance solutions tailored to the construction industry. With a focus on workers’ compensation, general liability, commercial auto, and property insurance.

The Challenge

Builders Mutual valued diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) but lacked a clear strategy. After George Floyd’s death in 2020, they created a lasting DEI plan for change.
