Diversity and Inclusion


Harford Mutual Insurance Group believes we have a responsibility to create a workplace where inclusion and diversity are respected and valued and that opportunity for all is ensured. Our Inclusion, Diversity, and Opportunity Committee [“IDOC”] is tasked with helping us achieve and maintain this goal. Employees from all departments and with various life experiences are welcome to volunteer and join. Through regular committee meetings, collaboration with department managers, group-directed training, and self-education, the IDOC committee focuses on increasing knowledge and awareness surrounding diversity and inclusion topics and making meaningful changes in areas like recruiting and philanthropic giving.

Since its formation in 2020, the IDOC Committee has established company-wide bias training; created a monthly newsletter highlighting different cultures, the power of language, and group affiliation days; increased our recruiting reach for targeted and marginalized groups; and aligned our giving guidelines to ensure equitable distribution of our charitable funds.
