Happy World Sleep Day!

Today is World Sleep Day – a day for promoting the importance of sleep and good sleep health.

As a go-to source for all things bedding, we know how important sleep is for health and well-being, and we’re proud to create quality products that help you sleep well. While using good products is an important part of sleep hygiene, there are additional things you can do to get a better night’s rest. Check out these 20 sleep tips compiled by the Sleep Foundation.

And as we head into the weekend, go ahead and hit that snooze button once. . .or twice. 💤

Happy International Women’s Day

Today is International Women’s Day, a day to recognize and honor the women at Leggett & Platt and around the world.

This year’s global theme is “accelerate action.” Accelerate action emphasizes the importance of working decisively toward equality. At the current rate, it will take until 2158 to reach full gender parity.

Leggett & Platt is accelerating action through W:ISE, which was founded in 2022. Since then, membership has grown to more than 200 people from 10 countries. W:ISE has hosted guest speakers, coordinated company-wide networking events, and created a mentorship program called Circles.

We admire and appreciate all women who enrich our company through their hard work and leadership. And, for every employee who has served as a partner, ally, and advocate for gender equality, we are grateful for you.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Happy Lunar New Year!

The Lunar New Year is a time of new beginnings and joyous celebrations. It’s a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the future with hope and optimism.

To welcome the Year of the Wood Snake and thank our dedicated colleagues in China, Sonia Smith, President of L&P Automotive, shared an inspiring Lunar New Year message on behalf of the Automotive Leadership Team. We’d like to share some of it with you:

“As we step into the Year of the Wood Snake, this is a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve been on together and look with optimism for what lies ahead in 2025. The past year has been another chapter in our industry’s story that demanded resilience, innovation, and teamwork. And as always, you rose to the challenge!

The Snake in Chinese culture symbolizes wisdom, intuition, and transformation – qualities that resonate deeply with our work in the ever-evolving automotive industry. This year, we are also guided by the Wood element, which represents growth, adaptability, and strength. These traits remind us of our ability to learn from the past, adapt to challenges, and grow stronger through change.

As we celebrate the Year of the Snake, we wish you and your families health, happiness, and prosperity. May this be a year of personal and professional growth, transformation, and success for all of us. Here’s to a remarkable 2025 – a year where we turn challenges into opportunities and dreams into achievements!”

Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year!

Celebrating Pongal at L&P Automotive in India

Our Automotive team in India recently celebrated Pongal – a Hindu harvest festival that marks the beginning of the month called Thai and is celebrated by people with ties to Tamil Nadu, India.

Lasting for four days, Pongal involves new beginnings, giving thanks, and strengthening communal ties. People often gather together for festive meals, which includes boiling pots of pongal – a traditional mix of rice and milk.

To celebrate, our colleagues played a traditional pot-breaking game called Uriyadi. In this game, participants are blindfolded and spun around several times before trying to break a suspended clay pot with a stick while observers cheer and music plays. Mr. Gnanaprakasam, Manufacturing Coach, and Ms. Abinaya, Production Associate, successfully broke the pot!

The team also made pongal and created rangoli – beautiful floor patterns created from rice flour.

A couple of our colleagues shared their thoughts on the celebration:

Susi
Monika

Susi: “As an employee, I appreciate this time to recharge and reconnect with loved ones, strengthening the sense of community. It is a time to celebrate progress while cherishing the roots of our culture. I look forward to positively contributing to the year ahead.”

Monika: “We often juggle multiple roles, both at work and at home. During Pongal, we honor our role in contributing to both the economy and our families. The festival reminds me of the resilience of women who continue to balance their careers, responsibilities, and traditions.”

L&P Automotive India Celebrates Christmas for the First Time

This past December, our Automotive team in India celebrated Christmas together for the first time!

The team decorated their branch and kicked off their celebration with a cake cutting. Susi, a manufacturing teammate, created a colorful rangoli featuring Santa Claus and a Christmas tree.

We’re happy to see our teams making memories together!

Check out some of the photos from their celebration below.

Happy New Year!

We wish you and your family a healthy, prosperous New Year!
