Deloitte has introduced a program allowing employees to submit Lego purchases for reimbursement, adding to their existing wellness benefits. While some employees appreciate the playful subsidy, others question its timing, particularly after the company recently conducted layoffs. Reactions on social media showcase a mix of humor and skepticism, suggesting that while Legos can provide joy, more substantial support may be needed to address the deeper mental health challenges employees face in a demanding work environment. The initiative highlights the complex balance between lighthearted perks and serious employee welfare.
While Legos might be fun, or even therapeutic, employees who are battling against very real modern concerns might need more than building blocks to avoid burnout. And that may be especially true at firms like Deloitte, where the workweek can average 55 hours.
Deloitte is offering to pay for employees' Legos to help them connect away their stress. The firm, which already offered well-being items and experiences, updated its employee subsidy program.
