Logitech gives its whole workforce a paid day to play video games
Logitech, a tech company valued at fourteen billion dollars, is giving every employee, interns included, one paid day off to play video games. The program, Logi Game Day, is the first of its kind in the company's history, and the day can be taken any time over the following year. On November 19, 2026, the day Grand Theft Auto VI is released, the San Jose headquarters becomes a gaming lounge.
Nearly all of the case for the policy comes from inside a company that sells gaming hardware. Chief executive Hanneke Faber, chief people officer Elaine Laird and Logitech G general manager Robin Piispanen all describe play as fuel for work. They cite Logitech's own studies, in which eighty-one percent and ninety-eight point eight percent of respondents tied gaming to workplace skills. The evidence and the product have the same owner.
