“Today, almost 90 percent of our workforce is working fully remote or in a hybrid work environment, and workplace flexibility is essential to attracting and retaining our top talent,” a Centene spokesperson told the newspaper.
First announced in 2020, the St. Louis-based payer expected to begin opening parts of the campus in 2022 and bring 6,000 jobs to the Charlotte area. The six planned buildings would have been centered around information technology.
The company was set to receive $450 million in tax incentives over 39 years for the project.
Centene will keep its existing physical space in Charlotte’s uptown neighborhood, and its 700 employees in North Carolina will remain remote or hybrid.
