At L&P, we strive to promote good cyber practices within our company and want to recognize Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which is celebrated every October. With cyber threats and crimes becoming more common, it’s more important than ever to know how we can help protect ourselves from them. In honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) shared four actions we can take to be safer online:

• Create strong passwords. For each account you have, use a unique password. Ensure passwords are long and complex.
• Keep software up to date. When updates become available for your devices, web browsers, and applications, update them as soon as possible. Consider enabling automatic updates, if possible.
• Think before you click. Cyber criminals may send you malicious links and attachments with the goal of installing malware or stealing login credentials.
• Use two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication adds another layer of security to your accounts by requiring an additional verification step when signing into them.

On October 7, L&P joined manufacturers across the United States to celebrate Manufacturing (MFG) Day.

MFG Day gives us a chance to celebrate our amazing employees who further our mission to produce quality products for our customers and allows us to showcase the opportunities in modern manufacturing.

To celebrate, our Carthage Spring branch hosted an in-person MFG Day event, inviting the local community and schools to tour the facility, check out one of our semi-trailer trucks, enjoy a cookout lunch, play cornhole, and win L&P merchandise. Some L&P employees invited their families to the branch so they could show them what they do while at work.

L&P also participated in the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Virtual MFG Day livestream. During the livestream, Randall Wood, VP of Manufacturing-Spring and Foam, gave a presentation and answered questions from students and teachers across Missouri. You can watch the Virtual MFG Day recording here.

We are proud to provide manufacturing jobs across the United States and we have many open positions! Join us today: Find Your Career at Leggett & Platt

Take a look at these amazing photos of one of our drivers visiting an elementary school in Carthage, Missouri!

The school hosted a convoy of trucks for their students as part of Truck Driver Appreciation Week. Students got to tour the truck and even sit in the cab. What a fun day!
