Employees have dreamed of this for years. This company decided to allow them.
While companies prepare for employee absences following the launch of one of the world's most anticipated computer games, technology giant Logitech decided to do exactly the opposite: grant employees special paid leave.
Assessment
Logitech is flipping the script on a common workplace tension. While many companies brace for productivity dips around major game launches, this tech giant is instead granting paid leave so employees can play. The move signals a bet that embracing gaming culture will boost loyalty and morale more than fighting it would. Watch whether other employers follow suit or dismiss this as a one off stunt.
