• Starting June 1, the FY26 updates added Lego sets alongside puzzles, ergonomic pillows, kitchenware and spa services to the $1,000 annual well-being allowance.
• Most Deloitte US partners and salaried staff are eligible for the benefit, while interns, contracted professionals and employees on leave remain excluded.
• Internal chats showed excitement over the Lego inclusion, with employees praising its stress-relief value and joking about purchasing the pricey Star Wars Millennium Falcon set.
• Some staff expressed skepticism, suggesting the perk is a response to high workloads and job stress rather than a solution to underlying pressures.
• By April, Deloitte’s US division had lost or modified at least 127 federal contracts, leading CEO Jason Salzetti to confirm small layoffs in the government consulting arm.
