JP Griffin Group Company News & Announcements

This week the JP Griffin Group was recognized once again as the one of the largest employee benefits consulting firms in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. This year the JP Griffin Group was tied for fourth in this annual survey conducted by the Phoenix Business Journal. 

While the PBJ collects total revenue for Phoenix area employee benefits advisory firms when compiling this survey, the rankings themselves are actually based on the number of local consultants.

“Once again, the JP Griffin Group is honored to be recognized by the Phoenix Business Journal as one of the largest employee benefits brokers in Arizona," said Jeff Griffin, Founder & President of the firm.

This month, The Arizona Department of Health Services, in partnership with the Healthy Arizona Worksites Program, presented the JP Griffin Group with the Platinum Level Award at the 4th Annual HAWP Award Ceremony in Phoenix.

The Healthy Arizona Worksite Program is a public health initiative that seeks to recognize employers that are making evidence-based efforts to support and positively impact the health and well-being of the their employees, their families, and the greater community by implementing comprehensive worksite wellness strategies.

The Phoenix Business Journal has awarded the JP Griffin Group the fourth place award for The Valley’s 2019 Healthiest Employers. For the third year in a row, the JP Griffin Group was featured on the annual list, ranked by business priorities influenced by health, this year taking forth place. This compilation is the seventh annual Healthiest Employers awards, presented by the Phoenix Business Journal, powered by Healthiest Employers, and sponsored by Cigna. The JP Griffin Group will be honored on Thursday, May 2nd, at the Phoenix Business Journal's celebratory breakfast awards.

“We are grateful to be honored by the Phoenix Business Journal as one of The Valley’s Healthiest Employers in Arizona and even more excited to be awarded fourth place.” said Jeff Griffin, Founder & President of the JP Griffin Group. “As an organization, we strive to make a profound impact on employee wellness and are able to show our clients nationwide that we practice what we preach. Next year, we hope to take first!” 

On Saturday, November 17th, the JP Griffin Group joined forces with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and gathered together to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by cancer. The Light The Night Walk is LLC's nationwide evening walk, hosted annually in downtown Phoenix, and is open to all children, adults, and pets. 

The night was filled with games, singing, event booths wrapped in photos of loved ones, and survivor huddles, which encouraged people from all over the valley to meet and connect. Memories of missed loved ones flooded the event while survivors and supporters shared their stories of hope on stage. During the testimonials, the lanterns were lit in memory remembrance first, then lit for the survivors, and lastly lit for the supporters. During the one mile walk, participants carried their illuminated balloons to celebrate and commemorate all the lives touched by cancer. Once all the participants crossed the finish line, a spectacular fireworks show ensued, ending a very emotional night with some happiness and hope. 

As the excitement of back to school season builds each summer day, parents and kids alike will rush to their favorite local super center to pick up all the educational necessities, checking items off their list, one by one. Unfortunately, not all kids in the valley are afforded this luxury. The JP Griffin Group wanted to support the valley's foster youth in their preparation for back to school. 

“We are so passionate about giving back to our community's youth, especially when it comes to helping with education.” said Jeff Griffin, Founder & President of the JP Griffin Group. “Back to school can be a fun time but also stressful, so we wanted to alleviate any stress and worry and make sure each and every child would be set up for success this school year.” 

Our congratulations go out to our amazing co-worker, Ginnet Ahumada, who received her U.S. Citizenship on Wednesday, April 11th. The JP Griffin Group celebrated this momentous occasion with an American Red, White, and Blue themed outdoor barbecue at the famous Scottsdale landmark, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park.

We were joined by all of our carrier partners as well as friends and family. Burgers and hotdogs were grilled by our very own Jeffrey Griffin, President and Founder of the JP Griffin Group. American themed music spilled through the speakers and eventually, a fun old fashioned water balloon fight ensued. It was a fun time to be had by all and we couldn't be more proud of Ginnet for this great accomplishment.

Ginnet joined the JP Griffin Group in 2017, while simultaneously working her way through her final year at Arizona State University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, where she completed her degree in English: Writing, Rhetoric, and Literacy in December.  Since day one, Ginnet has been an integral part of the JP Griffin Group team. Her continuous ambition to learn and grow within the employee benefits industry coupled with her outstanding customer service makes her a tremendous asset to our company.
