Global services and technology leader Concentrix has reinforced its commitment in Bacolod with the launch of its new Bacolod AIU site that represents an investment of approximately P1.02 billion and spans four floors covering 8,246.40 square meters.
The company, which is the largest private employer in the country, unveiled the facility with a “Sweet Byte” event, highlighting the blend of innovation and Bacolod’s local culture last week.
The new facility, still located along Lacson Street, boasts modern amenities designed for its employees, referred to as “game-changers,” including an “active zone,” gym, recreational areas, and wellness and sleeping lounges.
The facility can accommodate around 1,800 employees, with common areas also accessible to over 1,300 team members from Concentrix’s other Bacolod location, SanParq.
Amit Jagga, EVP and Chief Business Officer of Concentrix Philippines, stated, “The transition from one of our former sites to this new one in Bacolod AIU is the latest testament to Concentrix’s promise to provide more facilities suited to our game-changers’ evolving needs, integrated with the technology- powered training, tools and work experiences that we are known for. This new site gives us a bigger space and excellent amenities that reflect the workplace of the future and potential for further growth. It’s not just a new building – it’s our way of enabling Bacolod talent and affirming our long-term commitment to our regional footprint and local communities.”
The Concentrix Bacolod AIU team currently handles customer experience, technical support, and sales. Together with the existing Bacolod SanParq site, Concentrix’s workforce in the city serves as a partner-of-choice for numerous clients in the communications, travel, and technology sectors.
Bacolodnon and Concentrix Site Director John Robert “Rob” Planta, a veteran of 18 years who rose from frontline Advisor, spearheaded the launch. He commented, “We’re so proud of the ‘Sweet Byte’ launch event for Concentrix Bacolod AIU as it brings together two things we love — our company’s passion for innovation and Bacolod’s distinct local flair. We were very thoughtful of the site’s design, including the motif, because in many ways, the site is our shared ‘home’.”
