Administrative Professionals Day is Wednesday, April 23! The administrative professionals at Leggett & Platt are some of the most hard-working, unsung heroes of our business. They keep our departments running smoothly while wearing many hats – from managing schedules, organizing events, or ensuring our teams get paid on time, their roles are unique and dynamic.

To show our appreciation and say thank you – we’d like to introduce you to a few of the administrative professionals who epitomize our value of putting people first.

Meet Mariana Fermin Gomez. Mariana joined Leggett & Platt in September as a Routing Coordinator at Leggett & Platt Flooring Products – Aurora but soon transitioned to Payroll/Receptionist.

Initially, the transition and changes in responsibility scared Mariana, but with time and determination, she grew more confident and is proud of her accomplishments. She credits her supportive coworkers with helping her significantly improve her English, even though her primary language is Spanish.

“Working with people from different nationalities and cultures, all united by the same goal of personal and company growth makes me proud to be part of Leggett & Platt.”

Kim Dolder, Regional Human Resource Manager, calls Mariana “a rising star” of Aurora.

Thank you, Mariana, for all you do for Leggett & Platt!

Meet Diane Fourmentin. Diane joined Leggett & Platt Aerospace in March 2023 as an Executive Assistant at Specitubes in Samer, France.

As an Executive Assistant, Diane enjoys working alongside management and providing support on a daily basis. However, what truly drives her is a passion for internal communication.

“A large part of my role is about creating connections between employees – whether it’s creating an internal magazine, organizing events, or designing communication materials. I love to make messages more attractive and reinforce the feeling of belonging within the company.”

The role of an Executive Assistant is often misunderstood. This is especially true for Diane, whose responsibilities extend beyond traditional duties to ensuring unified messaging across the branch.

“I’m involved in various tasks that, even if sometimes unnoticed, are essential to the company’s daily operations and support the management team. My role is unique because, unlike a traditional Executive Assistant, I also handle internal communications.”

“Since my arrival, I’ve ensured that Leggett is more present in our communications, proudly reflecting our belonging to a large group while retaining our French heritage. This fosters cohesion and unites employees around shared values. I’m delighted that my work has been recognized during internal audits and appreciated by our customers, as it reflects a dynamic and reliable image of the company.”

Thank you, Diane, for your dedication to Specitubes and Leggett & Platt. We appreciate you!
