April Lowe-Royster,Senior TA Manager: You’ll never see April without pearls on!
Carla Maselli, Senior Talent Advisor: Carla is teaching Junior – her cockatiel bird – to talk, but so far, Junior only knows how to bark thanks to Carla’s dogs. We’ll get him to say “Hi, Mommy,” soon enough!
Carley Smith, Senior Talent Advisor: Carley is a Minnesota Vikings fan (despite never having been to Minnesota).
Danielle Sattler, Talent Advisor: Danielle just welcomed a new puppy – a toy poodle named Lainey – into her home. Lainey has the cutest curls, lots of energy, and wants to chew everything!
Felicia Bond, TA Manager: Felicia’s passion and hobby is painting, and one day, she hopes to start an art-focused business. We’ve seen her art, and we know she’ll be successful!
Ginna Gonzalez, College Programs: At one point, Ginna’s dinner table hosted five languages, three time zones’ worth of jet lag, and one universal truth: laughter really is the best translator. Over the years, Ginna has had the privilege of serving as a host parent to international students – ages 7 to 60 – seeking cultural immersion and learning English.
James Tilley, Senior TA Manager: James lived in Spain as a child and speaks Spanish. Also, he’s got the cutest sausage dog named Oscar.
Jimmy Xia, TA Manager: Jimmy’s beard grows extremely fast – like he-can’t-miss-a-day-of-shaving fast.
Kathy Bolan-Thorman, Senior Talent Advisor: Kathy enjoys live theater and volunteers at several local venues. As a kid, she recruited the neighborhood kids and organized live shows in her garage – and only charged 10 cents a ticket.
Taelor Harden, HR Intern: Taelor plays the clarinet!
Recently, Leggett & Platt employees joined hundreds of volunteers across southern Missouri for United Way Day of Caring – a powerful day of giving back and lifting up our Leggett communities.
From painting and repairs to hands-on clean-up projects, our team brought energy, heart, and teamwork to three local organizations: the Jasper County Youth Fairgrounds, the Carthage Crisis Center, and Sunshine Children’s Home. Thanks to their dedication, each site saw meaningful improvements that will continue to serve those who rely on these vital community resources.
At the Jasper County Youth Fairgrounds, volunteers tackled everything from the Small Exhibit Building to the 4-H concession area. Others spent the day supporting the Carthage Crisis Center, which provides shelter and care for individuals in need, while a third group helped beautify and assist at Sunshine Children’s Home, a space devoted to caring for vulnerable children in our area.
We’re honored to support the Carthage Area United Way and proud of the impact our employees continue to make through service and connection.
Throughout the month of June, members of W:ISE Employee Resource Group (ERG) inspired members to give back to their communities through acts of service and philanthropy. The initiative encouraged everyone to find a way – big or small – to make a positive impact, reflecting our company values of putting people first and doing great work together.
From supporting local blood drives, volunteering at a local library, and cleaning community spaces, to helping animals find forever homes, members embraced the call to serve. Participants from North Carolina to Missouri and Canada to Brazil volunteered at organizations like the Red Cross and community outreach programs like Carthage Crisis Center and The Foster Closet, showing just how much we can achieve when we come together.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, talents, and compassion to make a difference. Your efforts not only strengthen the communities where we live and work but also embody the spirit of teamwork and care that defines our values at Leggett & Platt.

At L&P, we are proud to support humanitarians around the world by contributing to the organizations they work for. In 2024, we contributed nearly $500,000 in cash or in-kind donations to more than 150 organizations.
Today and every day, we’re grateful for humanitarians and the life-saving work they do!
In 2011, we started We Rise – an employee and company-funded program that helps meet the emergency needs of L&P employees in the aftermath of catastrophic events and natural disasters.
From 2021 to today, the We Rise fund has donated $110,000 to 49 employees – all thanks to the generosity of our teams.
We want to say thank you to our teams for contributing to the fund and for putting people first!
At L&P, we believe in investing in the communities where we live and work.
Since 2001, we’ve given approximately 11.5 million dollars to strengthen and support these communities. We partner with our LP Gives team to prioritize giving with three main goals:
Inspiring Our Future. We support programs that are inclusive and create pathways to a better future through education, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs; scholarship programs; technical vocational programs; college-access and career-readiness programs; and community-based arts and music programming.
Elevating Our Communities. We give to organizations that strengthen the fabric of our communities, preserve and protect resources, and aid those facing financial hardship and instability, including programs that address homelessness and hunger, support economic mobility, and protect victims of violence.
Helping Communities in Crisis. We seek to assist in disaster relief and humanitarian work around the world with financial or in-kind contributions to those in need.
We’re also proud of our employees who frequently give their own time and resources to address local needs and build a brighter future for communities around the world.
Did you know 70% of employees say having a friend at work is the most important element to a happy work life?
Just ask Martin, Adilene, and Lance from Branch One in Carthage, MO – their friendship, built over years of working side by side, shows how much better work can be when you have people you can count on.
Today’s the perfect day to celebrate the coworkers who’ve become confidants, collaborators, and coffee break partners. Thanks for making work (and life) better!
So far this year, 58 interns have meaningfully contributed across our businesses, making an impact in areas like tax, human resources, information technology, marketing, and more.
To all of our interns, both past and present, we want to say thank you – thank you for growing with us and helping us raise the bar. We’re inspired by and grateful for you!
