L&P Automotive India Celebrates the New Year

Our Automotive team in India welcomed the new year with a cake-cutting celebration. During the event, the team took time to appreciate everyone’s hard work and raise a toast to new beginnings. They’re excited to start fresh, go forward with positive attitudes, and focus on collaboration.

We invited a couple of team members to share their reflections:

Saravanan, Quality Department, shared, “I’ve been with L&P for 14 years, and I’ve become a better version of myself with my peers’ and managers’ support and guidance. I am happy and proud to be a part of Leggett & Platt.”

Ramkumar, Manufacturing Engineering Department, shared, “I’ve had opportunities to learn and develop myself during the past eight and a half years with L&P. Even though there have been challenges, my time here has been fabulous—L&P is a great place to work.”

Thank you to our Automotive team in India for putting people first and doing great work together!

Many Cultures, Shared Values

As a global company, we come from many backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, and what unites us is how we work together to support one another and help L&P grow.

Our four company values — Put People First, Do the Right Thing, Do Great Work Together, and Take Ownership and Raise the Bar — are a set of shared principles that guide our decisions, actions, and relationships. At L&P, we:

put people first by prioritizing safety and care for each other, offering learning and development opportunities, demonstrating trustworthiness, and creating an inclusive environment of mutual respect, empathy, and belonging.
do the right thing by acting with honesty and integrity, delivering results the right way, taking pride in our work, and speaking the truth.
do great work together by engaging without hierarchy, collaborating as a team, embracing challenges, and working for the good of all of us.
take ownership and raise the bar by adding value and making a difference, challenging the status quo and biases, fostering innovative and creative solutions to drive impact, exploring new perspectives, and embracing change.

Throughout January, we’ll share some stories from our global teams on how they exemplify our values. You’ll also see some of our newest team members share what our values mean to them.

Has your L&P team exemplified our values at work? We’d love to hear from you! Email us at social@leggett.com.
