Specific details about their healthcare provider network and insurance options should be confirmed with Concentrix's HR department or employee benefits portal. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, Concentrix employees may experience significant healthcare cost increases due to rising premiums in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace, with some states seeing hikes over 60%. A substantial loss of enhanced federal premium subsidies could result in average out-of-pocket premium costs soaring by more than 75%. While many employers, including Concentrix, are adjusting their benefits in response to escalating medical expenses, employees should consider strategic choices in their coverage plans to mitigate the impact of these rising costs and ensure access to affordable healthcare.

More and more Concentrix employees are investing in their futures through 401(k) plans. Concentrix employees who participate in 401(k) plans assume responsibility for their retirement income by contributing part of their salary and, in many instances, by directing their own investments.
As a Concentrix employee, if you are among those who direct your investments, you will need to consider the investment objectives, the risk and return characteristics, and the performance over time of each investment option offered by your plan. Fees and expenses are one of the factors that will affect your investment returns and will impact your retirement income. This article will outline some of the major factors that may impact the severity of fees relating to your Concentrix 401(k) plan:

Funds that are “actively managed” (i.e., funds with an investment adviser who continually researches, monitors, and actively trades the holdings of the fund to seek a higher return than the market) generally have higher fees. The higher fees are associated with the more active management provided and sales charges from the higher level of trading activity. As a Concentrix employee, you may want to consider how while actively managed funds seek to provide higher returns than the market, neither active management nor higher fees necessarily guarantee higher returns.
Funds that are “passively managed” generally have lower management fees. Passively managed funds seek to obtain the investment results of an established market index, such as the Standard and Poor’s 500, by duplicating the holdings included in the index. Thus, passively managed funds require little research or trading activity. For Concentrix employees, it is worthy to account for the information when deciding who will manage your funds, and if their rates are adequate for the services provided.
If the services and investment options under your plan as a Concentrix employee are offered through a bundled program, then some or all of the costs of plan services may not be separately charged to the plan or to your employer. For example, these costs possibly may be subsidized by the asset-based fees charged on investments. Compare the services received in light of the total fees paid.
