Happy International Women’s Day!

March 8 is International Women’s Day — a day to recognize and honor the women around us.

We admire and appreciate all women who enrich Leggett & Platt 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.

For International Women’s Day, we invited a few of our employees to share what this day means to them. Watch the video below to see what they shared.
