AmiSight 6/25: The LEGO Wellness Strategy: Helpful or Hollow?

As a way to help employees relieve stress, Deloitte updated its employee perks to offer a $1,000 well-being subsidy for things like gym memberships and "Legos and puzzles.”  Yep, you read that right: Legos and puzzles.

Here are some perspectives from LinkedIn:      

Executive leadership coach Leila Bulling Towne doesn’t believe LEGOs and yoga classes are the answer to helping employees regain their focus. Instead, leaders should: 

• Show up prepared for 1:1s and team meetings

• Look everyone in the eye

• Listen before speaking

• Share when you have answers and when you don't

• Provide context

Donna Spafford Letier, CEO and co-founder of Gardenuity, likes the idea of providing creative, hands-on activities to relieve stress. She encourages nature-backed mental wellness such as gardening to significantly reduce cortisol levels and improve mood.
