Logitech is giving 7 000 employees a day off to play video games. If your employer followed its example, which policy would you prefer?
Logitech has announced 'Logi Game Day', giving around 7,000 employees worldwide a special day off to play video games. Workers can choose their favourite game and use the benefit within a year, just as the highly anticipated GTA VI prepares to launch. Logitech argues that gaming can improve confidence, reduce stress and develop useful workplace skills. The company cites research showing that 81% of surveyed gamers believe gaming helps them handle real-life challenges. But the announcement raises a bigger question: should employers reward gaming specifically, or give everyone the freedom to enjoy their own hobbies?
