Working hours under review at GAME

Consultancy period begins to better serve consumer spending habits

The GAME Group has told GamesIndustry.biz that it is currently reviewing working hours for all staff across the GAME and Gamestation businesses, with a view to better serving customers and their spending habits.

Staff were informed by letter this morning that shift patterns may change, and outlined all options for employees. The last time the company reviewed shift and sales patterns was over two years ago.

"We continually review the sales patterns across our entire store portfolio to make sure that we have the right number of people in place to serve customers throughout the day," said a statement from the company.

"Today we have held meetings with the teams in our stores to discuss ways that each store can better serve the customers in their local area, including a review of staff rotas and shift patterns. We are very focused on supporting our teams, and thank them for their continued hard work and understanding."

The company recently announced that it was letting around 250 staff go, closing 43 stores including GAME, Gamestation and Debenhams concessions.
