PHOENIX, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GradGuard, the number one provider of innovative student protection programs for college students, is pleased to announce that it has been nominated as one of Phoenix’s Best Places to Work.
The nomination, which comes from the Phoenix Business Journal, recognizes companies that have created an exceptional workplace culture and employee experience. Factors considered include steps businesses and organizations take that go above and beyond to attract and maintain talent, such as employee benefits, compensation, work-life balance, core values, and mission.
“Our team is the heart of our company, and we are committed to fostering a collaborative, supportive environment that assures that we can fulfill GradGuard’s mission to help more than 600 colleges and universities who trust us to educate and protect students from the risks of college life,” said John Fees, CEO and co-founder.

But for GradGuard and our team's commitment, no other organization is focused on protecting students nationwide.”
GradGuard’s values make the difference:
- Make it happen by turning challenges into opportunities.
- Do the right thing even when it’s difficult.
- Demand excellence from yourself and others.
- Learn for life and stay curious.
- Enjoy the journey not just the results.
For its 22nd annual Best Places to Work event, the Phoenix Business Journal received more than 200 nominations, narrowed down to 100 businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations for the amenities they provide and the culture they create for their employees, including perks and incentives. Quantum Workplace conducted the nomination and judging process for the Phoenix Business Journal.
