WHO WE ARE
In 1997, a group of 56 construction companies got together and decided to do something about the out-of-control costs of workers’ comp insurance. The plan was simple: join together to create a self-insured workers’ comp fund based on the principle... “If responsible people acted responsibly, everyone wins.”
Today, that idea has grown to become the #1 self-insured workers’ comp fund in Minnesota, exclusive to the construction trades. Through TBG, the construction industry has access to affordable, high-quality workers’ comp tailored specifically to their needs. They have a partner who fully understands their risks and is committed to helping them lower costs, create safer workplaces and take better care of their workers.
If being empowered to help our members along their safety journey sounds like an exciting opportunity, apply to join the TBG team today. To learn more, visit www.tbgmn.com.
