The gaming industry is on an explosive trajectory, forecast to grow at an annual rate of 8.76% between 2024 and 2027, according to Statista. Beyond macroeconomic factors and changing consumer preferences, technological advancements have been a major catalyst for growth — with innovations in cloud gaming, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) opening new avenues for success every single day.
But even in such a lucrative space, challenges persist. Within the remits of HR in the gaming industry, the buck doesn’t stop with attracting and retaining top talent. In an industry suffering from high burnout and employee turnover rates, prioritising health and wellbeing is equally critical. That’s as well as nurturing cultural diversity and inclusion, managing increasingly distributed workforces, and more.
