Leggett & Platt Careers, Benefits, Review

Our ordering of Inclusion, Diversity, & Equity is intentional. At Leggett & Platt, we lead with Inclusion, fostering a culture that thrives on diverse perspectives and where all voices are heard and valued. We are comprised of people of all abilities, gender identities and expressions, ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, veteran statuses, and more.

The more we embrace the unique backgrounds and perspectives each of us brings, the more connected, collaborative, and innovative we are. When you join us, you help shape a culture that is continuously evolving. We encourage you to stand out and help make Leggett & Platt even better.

Our Communities of Action

Our ID&E efforts are led by three cross-functional groups that seek to drive awareness, engagement, and accountability:

• ID&E Global Executive Council: Our executive team and senior leaders actively champion ID&E, providing oversight and strategic guidance on global priorities and leadership accountability.
• ID&E Pillar Action Teams: These teams establish and deliver long-term strategies and action plans designed to ensure that we have a safe and inclusive workplace.
• Local Communities: These communities are our grassroots efforts to bring ID&E into every location, department, and team.

How We’re Driving Progress

We're taking steps to ensure our culture is inclusive and that our processes and practices promote equity for all. Here are some steps we’ve recently taken to drive ID&E progress at L&P:

• Initiated Employee Engagement Survey: We asked our employees to share about their experiences at work so we can make meaningful change.
• Established a Women’s ERG: Our Women’s ERG is dedicated to raising the visibility of women, celebrating their unique contributions and perspectives, fostering personal and professional development, broadening their support network, building allyship, and influencing positive change.
• Launched People First: Our People First learning series promotes more creative, connected, and collaborative teams across L&P. We also developed a People First Champion Network, which consists of employees who facilitate conversations around our values and inclusive leadership habits.

Many Cultures, Shared Values

We share four company values that reflect who we are and guide our everyday decisions:

• Put People First: When we put people first, we commit to 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: When we do the right thing, we focus on acting with honesty and integrity, delivering results the right way, taking pride in our work, and speaking the truth.
  
  
• Do Great Work Together: We 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: We strive to add value and make a difference, challenge the status quo and biases to make things better, foster innovative and creative solutions to drive impact, and explore new perspectives and embrace change.
  
  

Employee Health and Safety

As a part of our value to Put People First, we are dedicated to the safety and welfare of all employees through education, awareness, and prevention. We have a comprehensive health and safety program called SafeGuard to support workplace safety. Under the SafeGuard program, all facilities globally are required to meet stringent health and safety requirements.

Investing in Our Communities

We have a long history of giving back to our communities, and our commitment to our communities starts with our people. Our employees donate their own time and resources to address local needs and build a brighter future for neighborhoods around the world.

With charitable efforts throughout our company, our corporate giving supports everything from education to preserving and protecting resources. In 2011, we also established We Rise — an employee and company-funded program that helps satisfy the emergency needs of employees and their immediate families in the aftermath of catastrophic events or natural disasters.

• Our Geo Components business produces geotextile products, such as erosion-control blankets and silt fencing, that help our customers address the challenges of land at risk of natural or human-caused erosion.
  
  
• In our Bedding business, we launched the Quantum Edge® Enhanced Profile with Eco-Base™ and Caliber Edge® Enhanced Profile with Eco-Base™. The Eco-Base™ fabric scrim is up to 80% lighter and contains 80% fewer petro-chemicals than base poly foam.
