Whether it’s the milestones we reach or the challenges we overcome, gratitude is at the heart of our journey. In every direction life takes us at L&P, we have so much to be grateful for:
We want to say thank you for being with us every step of the way!
Last month, L&P team members and their families participated in the American Heart Association’s Four States Heart Walk at Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, MO.
Combined with a contribution from L&P, the walkers raised nearly $3,500 for the American Heart Association and their fight against cardiovascular disease – the number one killer of all Americans.
“I know we all have our own stories and reasons for supporting this wonderful event, and awareness is so important,” said Suzanne Hall, Assistant Treasurer and Team Captain.
Thanks to our L&P team and their families for walking to save lives and doing great work together!
On International Day of Tolerance, we’re reminded that differences don’t have to divide us.
When we appreciate diversity, whether in culture, thought, or perspective, we can learn from a wider range of ideas and experiences and leverage what we learn. Our differences can build bridges to better solutions for our businesses, communities, and planet.
At L&P, we appreciate our differences and encourage everyone to leave their unique marks on the world!
Today is World Kindness Day. On this day, we celebrate the power of kindness and how empathy, compassion, and care toward one another can build bridges to meaningful connections. At L&P, we value putting people first. When you prioritize others, you naturally engage in acts of kindness that build trust and create strong, lasting relationships.
Take time today to spread kindness and love. Here are a few ideas to get started.
Send an Appreciation Note: Think of someone who has positively impacted your life and send them a quick note, whether through email, handwritten, or left on their desk – tell someone you are thinking of them.
Pay Goodwill Forward: Start a ripple effect of kindness by doing something nice for someone and asking them to pay the kindness forward. It can be paying for someone’s coffee in the drive-through, simply carrying someone’s bags, or holding a door. Many times, a simple act of service can change the trajectory of someone’s day.
Volunteer: There are numerous causes that need the care and compassion of others. If you don’t know where to start, visit VolunteerMatch – a site that helps connect you to non-profit organizations in your area based on your interests.
Listen and Validate: Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for someone is to listen and allow a person to be seen and heard. Offering validation to someone who feels misunderstood, hurt, or scared can profoundly enhance their emotional well-being.
As we celebrate World Kindness Day at L&P, let’s remember that every act of kindness, no matter how small, has the power to make a significant impact.
Today, we’re thinking of all who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
To our colleagues and those in our communities who have served, thank you for your service!
November 11 is Remembrance Day. Today, we honor all those who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms of others.
October is Global Diversity Awareness Month, a time to recognize and appreciate the cultures, traditions, and perspectives that make up our world. As a global company, it’s important that we embrace the diverse backgrounds of our people so we can take more meaningful steps toward building a more inclusive, innovative, and successful company.
Last month, our Learning & Development team spotlighted how to embrace a global mindset and shared many resources with our employees. Here are a few of the things we learned and ways we can embrace a global mindset:
1. Gain self-awareness. Become aware of your own culture and biases. You might only realize you carry biases once you examine your perspectives.
2. Be curious. To quote a line from Ted Lasso: “Be curious, not judgmental.” If you don’t understand something, instead of judging, ask questions. When we ask questions, it opens our minds to new perspectives.
3. Be flexible and open-minded. If a colleague in Europe does something different, be open to the new way of working. Neither way is wrong; it’s just different.
4. Practice. Take every opportunity to learn something new about someone, whether it’s speaking their language, learning about their culture, or trying their food. The more you practice and learn, the more your mindset will grow.

The Maple Leaf Parade is an annual event held in Carthage, Missouri, and this year marked its 58th anniversary. The theme was “Celebrating America’s Maple Leaf City,” and L&P’s float showcased iconic features of a trip down Garrison Street. Leggett won the Sweepstakes Prize, the top honor in the float division of 182 entries.
The parade attracted an estimated 65,000 visitors to Carthage. As L&P employees and their families walked the 2-mile parade route, handing out candy, they were met with enthusiastic clapping and cheering. Leggett & Platt’s strong community spirit was on full display.
Thank you to everyone who helped construct the float, participated in the parade, and demonstrated our value of doing great work together!
